All the poor workers have to
stand side by side with their
wrists in such a lot of terror
and agony due to diverticulitis.
At night are in constant pain.
Danger is all around them.
Death comes unexpectedly.
Heaven gets fuller each day.
God has to be watching us.
God saved us from agony and sin.
He cared for us when needed.
Bring us good news again.
Amen

Form: I do not know?
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
