The words:
explosive popcorn
skin adequate
trance track bacon emperor
parasite
Excruciating stomach pains
Not unlike explosive popcorn
Itchy skin dogged him lately
He had to endure both ailments
Medication were properly
administered but not adequate
It did not alleviate the pains
More in a trance when
the doctor did the scan
It was then they realized
His whole body was infected
The doctor did track the cause
He had a dislike for bacon
It led him to try sushi and sashimi
It led him to try sushi and sashimi
He was eating like an emperor
Contaminated raw fish
With larvae of tapeworms
Multiplied in his system
It could be life threatening
if the parasites could find
their way to his brains
