The Priest proclaimed 'In God I Trust, <br />don't let my aneurism bust.' <br />Then came the Devil to his bed <br />and in the morning he was dead. <br /> <br /> <br />_____________ <br /> <br />You see, the aetiology <br />of aneurisms of the knee <br />is usally a spirochete, <br />a bugger you don't want to meet. <br /> <br />It's when two bodies intertwine, <br />heads full of dingleberry wine, <br />that God may turn his eyes away <br />and all his angels start to pray. <br /> <br />The Devil, meanwhile, takes a culture <br />out from his lab and, like a vulture, <br />descends to the terrarium <br />with treponema pallidum. <br /> <br />He sticks his head beneath the covers <br />to ascertain that the two lovers <br />are out of wedlock, fornicating; <br />(that's illegitemately mating) . <br /> <br />The Devil's hand, meanwhile had rested <br />upon their knees and thus infested <br />the outer layers of their skin <br />with bugs, as payment for the sin. <br /> <br />And then, he leaves, as in a fashion, <br />the heat of utter sexual passion <br />dilates the pores of four nude legs, <br />wherein the germs then lay their eggs. <br /> <br />Thus grows and festers the infection. <br />And in three weeks, the next erection <br />produces pain and one mean pimple. <br />The doc says 'LUES', plain and simple. <br /> <br /> <br />______ <br /> <br />So, if you're horny, young and willing <br />allergic not to Penicillin, <br />go, have your fun, I wish you well. <br />But watch for nasty bugs from Hell.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cause-of-syphilis/
