Syphilis Update: A limerick
There was a young man from back bay
Who thought syphilis just went away
He believed that a chancre
Was only a canker
That healed in a week and a day
But now he has acne vulgaris
Or whatever they call it in Paris
On his skin it has spread
From his feet to his head
And his friends want to know where his hair is
There is more to his terrible plight:
His pupils won't close in the light
His heart is cavorting
His wife is aborting
And he squints through his gun barrel sight
Arthralgia cuts into his slumber
His aorta is in need of a plumber
But now he has Tabes
And sabershinned babies
While of gumma he has quite a number
He has been treated in every known way
But his spirochetes grow day by day
He's developed paresis
Has long talks with Jesus
And thinks he is the queen of the May
