Cobalt leaked into his life's blood.

from a previous aged hip implant.

Alarm bells! Tragedy! Perilous!

 

However, at least he could sustain

that having blue blood was aristocratic!

Advantage? Handicap? Out-dated?

 

Then steps taken all went back to normal,

Just returned to  former plebian scarlet.

Luckily? Regretably? Inevitably?
