A Strange Disease

A strange disease is rolling coast to coast and leaves its victims on their knees in fog. The weaker mind feels the affliction most; next, those with an affinity for grog. Some say a brain worm fled the campaign trail; some say that it arose from rotting meat. The latter likely seems an old wives’ tale; what’s true: synaptic clefts are incomplete.

For those who trust their government and seek a vax, one should be ready late next week.
