Forbidden Relativity

Forebode the forbidden

And the roads overridden

When backbreaking trysts

Risk spinal discs

.

Fine print's for the old

Not the young and the bold

'Cause actuation ain't wrote

Via annotated footnotes

.

Eat yourself selfish

Replete, allergic shellfish

Do what you want

And delight in the brunt

.

You'll did till you din't

Then you'll see the fine prin't

Tread in new readership

Following disclaimers of asterisk

.

When the tally is toted

Your injuries are noted

Science pays the best prices

For the bodies left them sans vices

..
