I recently had a little bout of what we will refer to as “intestinal conflict”. Not to bring down the level of writing on this website (any further), I will try to avoid any further reference to that. So, anyway it seemed appropriate that I post a few of these:

Here’s an article about a professor who writes songs to help her students remember key facts about diseases. Some of the “highlights” are:
“Leprosy” (sung to the tune of “Yesterday” by The Beatles)
Leprosy,
Bits and pieces falling off of me,
But it isn’t the toxicity,
It’s just neglect of injury.

And who could forget….

“Herpes Simplex 1 and 2” sung to the Simon and Garfunkel tune, “Sounds of Silence”:
Hello herpes our old friend.
Will be with us ’til the end.
‘Cause the virus softly creeping,
Left its genes while we were sleeping.

That helped a lot, I feel much better.

I invite you to post your own disease-related ditties in the comments section.
