Memo to school maintenance personnel:
given our recent inclement weather,
there’s been an unprecedented upswell
in fungi here, and in particular
the psilocybin mushroom (see attached).
As this fungus is a psychoactive
it must be immediately dispatched.
Psilocybin mushrooms are attractive
nuisances for the students and they pose
a health danger. Any personnel caught
with these psychedelic mushrooms may lose
their position so please give it some thought
before you give in to your temptation.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
