A MAN OF NO SUBSTANCE
A man had all the diseases under the sun
Including varicose veins and various cancers
He also had:
Heart disease
Bronchitis
Hepatitis
Mumps
Measles
Malaria
Rickets
Tuberculosis
Tape worm
Ticks
Syphilis
Gonorrhoea
Kidney stones
Kidney failure
Warts
Bubonic Plague
Post polio syndrome (having first caught polio!)
Ghandi’s Revenge
Grumbling appendix
And bird flu…
To name but a few
You name it and he claimed it!
“I feel like death warmed up,” he said
“You ARE death warmed up,” I said
“I feel as though I’m hanging on
From a very great height
By my very fingernails,” he said,
“Do you suffer from leprosy?” I said?
“Yes,” he said,
“Then it’s just a matter of time,” I said,
“Just a matter of time!”
