Just look far within The membrane so thin And you could come up with a chart
If you can see little organelles And free DNA in the gel Its likely that you For sure through and through See a prokaryotic cell
But if you see some organelles With membranes on them like a shell There is a good chance Youre in the expanse Of a eukaryotic cell
Explanation: This limerick is about some differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It explains that prokaryotic cells have only a small number of organelles and free DNA in the cytoplasm. It also explains that eukaryotic cells have organelles that are wrapped in membranes. What the limerick basically did was compare some contrasting elements between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells to help identify each cell type.
