Boy hiking out of bounds slips into acidic hot pool at Yellowstone
dies.
Huge flock of snow geese land in an old, acidic open pit mine
well over ten thousand birds
die.
She lands into a relationship, ripe with promise, is tripped
by his acidic wit, and a bit of her
dies.
One never knows when the innocuous will turn
perilous.

I cannot resist saying that this has a good bite, although I almost NEVER make puns! It does however, beautifully convey the sting of disappointment and disillusionment in love.
Thanks.
Alkalize yourself.
If only the birds and the dude had that opportunity!
