Intolerance

A grain of wheat,
So basic and nutritious,
But something I can't eat,
Because of a glutenous curse
In my genes, inherited
For better or worse,
From Northern Europeans,
Who, over countless eons
Preferred the mammoth's meat
As the main thing to eat,
Rather than the grain
Which caused the stomach pain...
