April 17—Prove something

God’s Demented Sense of Humor
I sometimes think
That God if he/she/it exists
And created the Universe
Must have a demented
Sense of humor.
 
For how else you can explain
Why he created a parasite
That hides in your system
Totally inert but if you take
Steroids for any reason.
 
Blows up like a basketball
Bursting out and killing you,
In thirty minutes.
 
Leaving the doctors
Wondering WTF
Just happened.
 
Recording your death
As a medical mystery.
 
As very few doctors
Have ever encountered
Or heard about
 This weird parasite.
