Rx For Disaster
Picture a tiny kink in the old genetic spiral,
Or a microscopic speck that's bacterial or viral.
Now, suppose they say, to our dismay, that we've become immune
To drugs we once regarded as a miracle--a boon.

Find among us

Quite frankly, if you bed people of belowstairs class, they go to the papers.
