"Guest Speaker"

The Shrouded One, who sits there in the corner
& does not speak, that is the one who counts.
Never mind the outcome of our sports
as standing wights grow yellower & browner.
We had awhile our downfall in abeyance,
to stride the Earth seemed destined & unchallenged:
but since find wins less often plucked than scrounged,
with shrugs & snickers tossed back at surveillance.

It cannot be a fault in our chosen means;
it has to be the human stuff to blame,
which more & more abolished in our scheme
at last will cease to pester what remains...

The Shrouded One perks up at this, & grins.

Vaccines are why.

When you really don't want to go to the hairdresser but still kind of have to.
