Common Tapeworm

Scientific name: Taenia solium

It was learned that a Common Pork Tapeworm entered into Donald Trump’s intestinal track through undercooked pork. There it attached itself, preparing for the next phase.

The tapeworm made its way into the esophagus and then up into the throat. It rested awhile and fed there just South of the larynx.

After a rest and sightseeing, the tapeworm made its way up into the sinuses. From the sinuses it was a short bore through to the skull cavity. There, it was puzzled. After being bred for millennia where to go, she was confused. It was in her DNA that she would be rewarded with a bright, pink, beating brain.  Where there was supposed to be a big beautiful mass taking up most all of the skull, there was a dark shrived lump, throbbing slowly in the center.

“I’m not eating that crap”, thought Sylvia the tape worm. “I’ll starve first.” She said out loud. And walked over and kicked the mass. “And the smell!” she said. “Maybe I can make it back down to the tubes?” she wondered. Lining the cavity was a thick viscous fluid layer. It looked healthy as none of it touched the thing in the middle.

“I wonder if that’s edible?” she thought. She walked over to the nearest wall and stuck her face in it. “Not bad.” She mumbled through a face of slime. I can bulk up and then head down to the tubes.

A couple days later, being thoroughly sated, Sylvia headed back the way she came. Through to the sinuses first, stopping to rest and below the thorax. Then the esophagus, the dangerous part. She had to make sure that the host was asleep because food going down on top of her would be a bad thing.

Sylvia made it to the tubes and latched on with all her hooks. She laid back to feed, which she will probably do for many,  many years.

You go Sylvia.
