DROSERA ROTUNDIFOLIA
Here is the story of young Sarah Boffin
Who was wasting away with a terrible cough;
And her friends chose a coffin to carry her off in
When they thought that her cough would carry her off;
And Sarah grew silent and full of mistrust
Of all her kind friends, while the pain in her thighs
Got steadily worse, and she coughed fit to bust.
As she looked all around her with prominent eyes
She said "All my joints seem to ache on the right;
"The pains may be right, but the doctors are wrong
"And with glands in my tummy, the prospect's not bright;
"I think I'll be leaving this world before long."
But the doctors said "Courage ! We're not at a low, Sarah;
"We'll soon have you fit with a nice dose of Drosera."
~~~~~~~~~~
For pertussis or tabes (ie mesenterica)
You won't find a cure in Peru (South America)
Or even in Wigan or Outer Mongolia
That's better than Drosera rotundifolia.
