Beyond Beaker
While interesting,
the Beaker people
are known to have lived
calm, sedentary lives;
cereal in the morning,
malted milk at night.
More adventurous,
the earlier Tankard people,
with their regular binges
in numerous stone temples,
were more gregarious.
New research has them
emerging over centuries from
the over-indulgent Stein Age.

What fun to wake up to! I await the definitive history of the Shot-Glass people …
Love it! The calm unfolding rhythms make us conjure something dire. Great use of this narrative style and the list format. The ending does not disappoint. Well done!
