Splenomegaly warrants leukemia suspicion

Extracting marrow from my grimaced compliance
Nurse ordered pain reliever alleviates nothing
Core biopsy robs my speaking abilities
Eternity of pang equals six hours and counting

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

Marilyn, again this is wonderful, will you please read more of my poems?
Marilyn, this is nice. You loved my poem "My spouse passed away" but you did not comment. Will yuu comment on that poem please?
If this is your reality, I hope you're doing okay. This was an acrostic to make your reader i.e. me, squirm and reflect.
