Summarize

Everything’s Possible

A poem of hope

aunty Dy’s FB pic / facebook.com

Yes, the rumours you may have

heard are true

COVID-19 tried to take down

the oldest member of my family

But her vital statistics were more

than he/it/they could handle

and the unseen measures

she took regained control

If my eighty-three-year-old

aunt can beat Covidien

there is hope for us all

Report based on latest intel, above, and Kat Lehmkuhl’s clues, below.

“Be sure to report on the suspicious activity of those around you and what you have learned of their actions. Anyone could be an agent of Covidien and we need to slush out those fiends for the safety of all.

We will meet here, each Thursday and will communicate through the Medium app as it will remain undetected by our enemy. Further, go to the group, The Bad Influence to find our newest clues and codes.

We are all counting on you, Agent!

May Poe and Hemingway be always on your side. Do us proud!

This week’s clues:

  1. Hope
  2. Vital
  3. Measures
  4. Unseen
  5. True

PS: In an effort to recruit more agents like yourself, please post this detailed assignment to your poem/prose and ask others you feel are talented sleuths to join us in our crusade against Covidien. Together, he and his agents will be defeated.”

If you missed this clue, apologies — my delivery was compromised; pls report in as soon as you can, (But ignore if you have already reported on this clue). Caroline de Braganza, Agnes Louis, Kristen Hill, Susan Brearley, 🦄 Chris Hedges, Lisa Bolin, Lee Serpa Azevado, Jennifer Nelson
