Microbiology 101, Laavanya S.

The X is increasing;
not two peas in a pod,
nor are you punctuating,
but children playing 'train.'

Little rods, squiggling
to be stained,
some not moving.
Tell me, are you
pink or purple?

You need to grow;
let me take a droplet,
do you like blood or
do you like chocolate?

Little blobs, shiny,
your growth leaves
me exponentially happy.
But tell me your name
else I extract it out.
