Merriam-Webster I lately lost a preposition:
It hid, I thought, beneath my chair.
And angrily I cried: “Perdition!
Up from out of in under there!”

Correctness is my vade mecum,
And straggling phrases I abhor;
& yet I wondered: “What should he come
Up from out of in under for?”

I was looking at some pyramidal neurons from the prefrontal cortex today in the microscope... most of them are not so pyramidal, usually more pear-shaped 😁? Additional markers: microglia (cyan), astrocytes (🟣), nuclei (🔵)
