Auld aquaintance: be forgot!

[Guest guest]

2008, dawn . . .

Oh now come all ye groupies, arise from your lazing . . .

You know Doctor Max, and his Triad amazing:

You wheeze on the in-hale and wheeze on the ex-

And your nose is like concrete, with polyps that vex.

If your head aches like crazy, then what is your practice?

Ingesting an aspirin? . . Hah! Anaphylaxis!

**

So what is the project for two aught aught eight?

And just how will you murder this damn thing you hate?

Will you bring in the Surgeons to ream and to hack,

When the polyps so soon, as you know, will come back?

Is a Diet the treatment upon which you'll bet?

But hey! Life is too short: so to NAET I say nyet.

Maybe Prednisone helps, in significant doses,

But no bed of roses is osteonecrosis.

Desensitization? It may be the way:

With some hair of the dog, in just four pills per day.

Yes, a gram and a third of a double-edged knife,

That will help you get better or may take your life.

Try: with salt or with onion, to make a solution,

And squirt it upstairs as a nasal ablution,

The output of this being shapes in the sink,

The components of which you will not want to think.

It is called Irrigation, and some heed that call

So they flush away, flush away, flush away all.

There is more to pursue, as you sip your libation,

And not least of which: Homeopathic Vibration.

But too many treatments, and not enough cure;

And there's too many experts and doctors unsure.

An affliction so magic, so wond'rous and clever,

It does give one pause: will it curse us forever?

Let's treat it as fun, or a puzzle, or game,

With eventual vict'ry, in Max's good name.

Will the ultimate fix, the solution effective,

Come down from the " gurus " ? Or wisdom collective?

The group has more wisdom than any group-ie,

It's the group that will conquer, proclaiming " Whoopee! " .

With a cudgel in one hand, some bubbly in t'other,

Join into the fray, with all sisters and brothers.

An answer is out there, in hope and good cheer,

In the meantime a wish: to live merry all year.
