A/N:

There is a moral to this Acrostic-Limerick. No, I am not going to tell you what it is. It's easy to cipher out, so I'll let you, the reader, do so. I'm sure most had already done so, before I even posted the first butterfly, or at least by the second one.

    It's a lot like the healthcare system today, - all about the green back $. However, I think you were saying don't buy into the snake oil salesman and the experiments, it is worse than the healthcare system today which is broken, but it beats the snake oil salesman.

    Is this a pun? 😮 It reminds me of some real-life situations. Poor Gina! Love your story! 🌟💓

    What if we, the reader, are too dumb?... 🤔 Nah, jk (maybe). I don't even need to see Gina to know she was beautiful beforehand. I know a lot of people suffer with thinking they aren't good looking enough. I really wish I could help everyone who struggled with this, but I know the solution isn't always easy 😔 Damn, this poem made me think quite a bit. Fantastic work as always, MC.

    Aww. Poor Gina. Should have been happy with what the good lord gave her.

    Well-wrought! I love butterflies. Even the monarchs float through Indy from all the way down south sometimes, to sup at the milkweed on my fence, before they make their way back to the border.

  • Sadly, unless it's simple beware of promises too good to be true by operations run off the books or under the table, I haven't a clue. Even more sadly, my not having a clue is fairly common.

    True glow comes from within? It's a great Acrostic poem.
