To Botulism:
O, thou fatally swollen bride of bacteria!
Thou foster-child of silence and dark cupboards!
Groceried historian, who canst thus express
An intestinal tale more firmly than thy hordes!
What spore-fringed legend haunts about thy tins,
Of hospitals, or IVs, or of both,
In Wal-Mart or the dales of discount bins?
BURSTING with NATURAL antioxidants!
Best Used by October 1999????
BURSTING with BOTULISM!
(Seriously, packing some of The Boyo’s cupboards is like going on an archaeological expedition…)
