Sense Sonnet - Acher

Numbers

The company made many brands
Of varied foods for dogs and cats.
When there were safty check demands,
Execs looked at inside test stats.
Test animals were fed the food,
And based on those that did survive,
Probabilities were construed
Of the market staying alive.
The choice of a massive recall
Was to choose a market death knell,
Sending the inc. in a freefall
Into a swift financial hell.

There was no recall nationwide,
If too few animals had died.
