You’ve heard of Kevin Bacon?
He’s the guy with six degrees.
But he can’t claim that moniker alone.
The contacts that connect us all
would blow us all away
if we could see God’s chart by which we’re known.

It is quite likely you’ve a friend
who knows a VIP
who knows the CEO of IBM.
Or maybe that good friend of yours
is friends with JD Vance
or maybe with the KC Chiefs’ GM.

But it’s not just our friends of friends
who link our lives to theirs
who in the process
make the world so small.
We are related (you and I)
no matter where we’re from.
We are one big fat family after all.

To trace your DNA is fun.
It’s quite informative.
You may discover you have royal blood.
You just might be related to
a much-loved movie star
when all along you thought you were a dud.
