From our current affairs editor, Lemuel Stuart III:

Cuthbert J. Twillie, the Chief Interactional Developer and Legacy Mobility Director for the North American Association of Bone Spur Sufferers, announced today new recommendations for “do’s and don’ts” for people afflicted with painful bone spurs.

Twillie descended the escalator at Trump Tower in New York City to kick off an event honoring National Bone Spur Survivors Day, and he made the announcement that bone spur sufferers and survivors have waited years to hear.

“The NAABSS has published an updated list,” said Twillie, “of the top ten things people with bone spurs can do as well as the top ten things they should avoid.”

Actors hired by the firm that hired actors to cheer the launch of Donald Trump's campaign applauded wildly after Twillie’s pronouncement.

From our medical consultant, Addison Gridley:

Bone spurs are nothing to joke about, so please get checked for bone spurs if you have not already done so! And whether or not bad weather in your area spoils any sort of parade or ceremony, please take some time today to honor those with bone spurs, as November 11 is National Bone Spur Survivors Day!

Emmett Lee Dickinson was right when he wrote that bone spurs give "a pain so utter" as noted in his poem "There is a pain -- so utter" (below on the left). His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem with the same opening line (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:

There is a pain – so utter –
It swallows humans up –
Then covers their Abyss with Trance –
So tender feet can’t step
Around – across – upon it –
As one who cannot Stir –
Go safely – with a deferment –
Escape it – Spur by Spur.

By Emily Dickinson:

There is a pain – so utter –
It swallows substance up –
Then covers the Abyss with Trance –
So Memory can step
Around – across – upon it –
As one within a Swoon –
Goes safely – where an open eye –
Would drop Him – Bone by Bone.
