A Case to be Made

Some will say it began with the index finger,

but it appears that this may be a bogus

assertion to claim. However, the feet we know,

did do what they were told as both of them

rested compliantly in place. At the time, the

appetite, it was said, arose from within and

demanded to be fed. Eventually, the rest of

the body submitted and laid down to rest.

The lone finger got all the others, the arms

and legs, instigated every moving part of the

body to comply in unison, lifting the blanket

up to cover the victim who then rolled over

and fell asleep. Now who is responsible, which

part of the anatomy is to blame? Although never

actually witnessed first hand by anyone, may it

please the court, we the prosecution find, while
scientifically plausible (albeit wholly circumstantial),

a natural act such as this, with a convincing

degree of certainty was not perpetrated by the
index finger, but points to the brain. It says, I
want, I need, and every able-bodied member
is sworn to obey.
