Manduca sexta - by Aubrey
Ms. Pellium's Solanaceae
are deranged,
devoured
demolished,
first by one
then by three,
and today
by many
too many Manducas
of four inch length,
fifth digit girth
(but squishier.)
The Administrators of Mastication,
leave branches denuded,
inflorescences demoralized,
till
lycopersicon esculentum
lies barren,
feeble.
Fruitless.
Ms. Pellium is tomato sauceless,
due to those
Manducas,
machinators of
end
l
e
s
s
frass.
