Ms Black the Hypochondriac

I once worked with a youth who had gingivitis Twenty years younger yet she already had arthritis Pretty enough in spite of her dermatitis She so craved attention we all thought caused by meningitis Winters seemed worse with time off due to bronchitis Bouts in hospital for appendicitis and diverticulitis Regularly like clockwork she came down with severe vacationitis After each self-prescribed vacation she’d strangely suffer from moneyitis She talked our ears off we kept hoping she’d get laryngitis But no, it was only bursitis and colitis followed by gastritis Ms. Black sure was high maintenance with her neurosis and neuritis AP: 1st place 2025, Honorable Mention 2020
