Regrettable Edibles

by Alex Steelsmith

“Major supermarket recalls popular sausage product over safety risk: ‘Could cause harm if consumed.’”
The Cool Down

Moaningly, groaningly,
something you’ve nibbled on
troubles your gut; peri-
stalsis is stalled.

What have you eaten that’s
un-gastronomical?
Try to remember; it
must be recalled.
