He Wanted to Develop a Cure All for Cancer

A panacea for cancer is what I’m all about What about Alzheimer’s, the jealous one asked in a shout Let’s not forget chicken pox, heart attacks and leprosy The scientist ran from his lab, to watch monotone TV He wanted to eliminate all the diseases, of course But opposition was as stubborn as Farmer Joe's plow horse The naysayers were yelling suggestions into the outside air. He knew they each had an agenda, and nothing would seem fair.
