Hey there and welcome to h2g2 and the Alternative Writing Workshop!
I'd love to see something written in your own style, instead of trying to recreate DNA's. There's been a LOT of these sorts of entries over the years and they don't really have a place in our Guide. The h2g2 Guide isn't the same as the original one. It does actually try to provide accurate information
The Alternative Writing Workshop is a branch off from The Guide. It is the place for works of fiction, opinion and current interest pieces. If you take a look at some of the entries that are currently in the workshop you'll be able to see this
This entry is also incrediably short, which would be fine if it was a piece of poetry but not really as a piece of fiction or intended tonge-in-cheek fact.
Sorry I've probably spoilt it for you now and sound all boring, I promise I'm not really, I'd just like to see some of your own writing.

Hi Mostly, and welcome to H2G2.
Like Kat, I am not entirely sure of the purpose of this piece of writing - what you are trying to do to us, your readers. I do like the very dry tone and the fact that you make us work to get the jokes, though.
Interesting that the other place you've landed here is the Haiku challgenge. That makes sense. My thought on this was that there should either be less of it or more of it.
Thanks for posting it.
Ben
