SPREE of food and drink laced with the
SERUM of self.

THERE, down the river on a
BARGE, floats cargo
WORTH a king’s ransom. What a

SALON must be prepared. The night’s

LATER, the diplomats can sort out the details.

LORRY drivers from many countries
GNASH their teeth as the vultures
SWOOP over the roads that
EXIST as their buffet lines.
