Topical Acrostic Sonnet
(July, 2025)
  The Pinch Of Salt

  The Salt Path was restorative for Winn.
  Her royalties, it is alleged, repaid
  Embezzled funds. Yet nature's medicine
 (Perambulations Moth and Raynor made
  In Cornwall on its cliffs), according to
  New claims, were too restorative to be
  Considered true: in many medics' view,
  He's been too well too long for CBD.
  Observer scoops don't often tell a lie.
  Fresh readings bring up doubts you can't ignore
  So easily, yet millions passed them by ...
  At picnics on the beach, with Salt Path for
  Light reading, why did no one spot a fault?
  They probably forgot their pinch of salt!
