I intended to publish this post yesterday but ended up being very busy. Then I had to wear a pulse oximeter in the evening as part of a sleep study so I couldn't type. I have one more night of this beastly sleep study and I'll be glad to send that cyborg rig back. The heart rate monitor belt started cutting into my armpits, the pulse oximeter was inconvenient and I kept pulling its cord out of the monitor, and the prongs of the nasal cannula for the apnea test were so long it felt like they were there to locate my brain through my nose. Never mind all that, let's get to the prompts.
Yesterday's poem was called Paleontology 3319, and it was about future scientists discovering an extinct species: frogs. Climate change is causing problems for frog populations.

Write a conspiracy poem.
My limerick closed with the line "a conspiracy to prevent sleeping."
Great music in this one, but the aesthetic appears to be all butt all the time. Hence the video gets pushed to the bottom of the post.

"Did you have to do the miserable sleep study too, Harry?"
"That was a sleep study? I thought it was a new form of torture devised by Voldemort."
