A B H     (actuell bodily harm)

Twas in September 2021, Cherbourg lost an uncle, and a country its son.' Bevan Costello, who worked for better, took a dose following advice to the letter' Trying the trust he'd built on for years, bridges of friendship allaying fears Took his part in that experiment, concerned for his mob amid a (killer event?) The campaign built around his name, by media adverts was now in flames They pulled it quick.' They took it down; amid quarantine for Aboriginals all around The (projeceted areas of disease?) Coincide with mineral geological fields..? There was mask wearing still at 40c plus, coppers sweating amid flies and dust.' How tragic, news with drama and spin; assaulted a nation with it's endless din.' I view the whole fabrication; stress, the early half-truths' the later duress, the increase In sudden ariythmic deaths, the worldwide torpor (its one whole mess) When did acquired immunity? the early goal.' Get driven off the road? Into a hole! The early ( facts that children were safe) salient points coming from an experts face And there's always another new disease.? Maybe a new law (abh) by sneezing..? It could be comedy, if it wasn't so sad, to sum things up maybe? ( we all were; had? )

Hi Joe: The way the narrative changed so often, their mind contortions to keep truth covered were so comedic. Will they pay? No! That’s the tragedy.

Is this your sample for tragicomedy? Point well taken , Joe. We are living in a world of such ludicrous behavior. I hate to say this, but Connie is lucky to be out of this world. I greatly fear what is coming to us all. Connie is in Paradise, bless her soul.
