There are many diseases, <br />That strike people's kneeses, <br />Scorflufus! is one by name <br />It comes from the East <br />Packed in bladders of yeast <br />So the Chinese must take half the blame. <br /> <br />There's a case in the files <br />Of Sir Barrington-Pyles <br />While hunting a fox one day <br />Shot up in the air <br />And remained hanging there! <br />While the hairs on his socks turned grey! <br /> <br />Aye!Scorflufus had struck! <br />At man, beast, and duck. <br />And the knees of the world went Bong! <br />Some knees went Ping! <br />Other knees turned to string <br />From Balham to old Hong Kong. <br /> <br />Should you hold your life dear, <br />Then the remedy's clear, <br />If you're offered some yeast - don't eat it! <br />Turn the offer down flat- <br />Don your travelling hat- <br />Put an egg in your boot - and beat it!<br /><br />Spike Milligan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scorflufus/
