For Hermann J. Muller's 65th birthday, students sent him poems with accompanying drawings by Elof Carlson. The poem and drawing below features drosophila, which Muller studied the genetics of.

Drawings of three flies on top portion of a vertical yellow card.

Typed poem on yellow card reads: "There once was a fruit-fly named Joan, / Whose affair with a brash Protozoan / Gave results aggrevating / When, soon after the mating, / All her offsrping flew off as a clone."
