From Mermaid to Marsupial

A few month ago I noticed the medicine man from Niger on UN-Drive hawking a cure-it-all liquid, suspiciously looking like urine, under a banner of a mermaid. He was absent from his place on UN Drive in downtown Monrovia for some time, but came back a few days ago. The liquid still has the same vile color, but the mermaid has transformed mysteriously into a kangaroo.
And while the look and smell the same, Kangaroo seems to be much stronger and more useful. True, it does not help you to become “Best in Football” as Mermaid did, but it still helps against most other illnesses cured by Mermaid.  Both are obviously a great cure against gonorrhea , even though the spelling is slightly different.  Period, onion, bad stomach are also taken care of by both. But in addition to that Kangaroo has the great advantage of helping “Man and Woman who can´t born”, cure “Diabetique” and “Baby Walk”. But its main selling point must be that it makes you “To be cleaver”.
Well, maybe the medicine man should drink some of his own liquid then.
