The Cure

 
I suffer from radiator illness, and now I cough at night. Phlegm sings descant in the lungs. The bloom in my adrenal iris slot has faded. I want to be healed, get back on the horse so to speak. Sit high on the stud, be a stallion’s rider. When I advertised my need, the bus driver sold me a home remedy not available in any convenience. I bought a sonar distiller off the internet to brew his potion. Mixed in flowers, sugar, duck eggs. Added a raisin, five dollars and railroad oil. I briskly stirred in heat, following every instruction to the megapixel. The tonic turned out better than the pic — it bubbles in radial lines. But I have an infection, am not tranquil enough to remove the radiator cap (my trembling fingers). Please, will you help me?
