Voodoo Curse

Never know when we converse
Whose path we’ll happen to traverse 
Can anyone really be that perverse
To willy nilly cast out a nasty curse
To chant for effects brutally adverse 
With implications bitterly diverse
An evil voodoo spell I must reverse
Boils hives and warts somehow inverse
I throw on a coat and grab my purse 
Head off to see a doctor or a nurse
In ointments and remedies I’m willing to immerse
Medical bills disburse then reimburse
I hope to feel better but I feel worse
Suspecting I may soon be leaving in a hearse
But first I’ll sing my song or write a verse
To leave my mark on this awesome universe

This read like a song; I can sing this. I will until someone asks me to stop. Already?
