The brain of a baby Zebrafish lights up when you play it MC Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This, according to a New Zealand scientist

What happens in a fish’s brain
When it hears MC Hammer
She must be a scammer
As her actions don’t sound fully sane

Ms Parton said those who are not
Brave enough to take a shot
Of Covid vaccine
Should know that they’re seen
As walking piles of chicken squat
