At age, 60, Doctor Brown had finally
invented a concoction he called the
Youthful Elixir, a manmade fountain
of youth.
With his first drink, he loved the taste,
like a sweet cocktail.
When he finished the drink, in his mirror
he looked 10 years younger.
The effects exceeded his hopes, but
the elixir was too intoxicating due to a
heavy concentration of alcohol.
Doctor Brown, hooked on the elixir,
drank it all night, getting higher, happier,
and younger with each drink.
In the morning, all his elixir imbibed,
he woke up irreversibly a babbling baby
helpless, and equivalent to a new born babe.
