The Priest proclaimed 'In God I Trust,
don't let my aneurism bust.'
Then came the Devil to his bed
and in the morning he was dead.

You see, the aetiology
of aneurisms of the knee
is usally a spirochete,
a bugger you don't want to meet.
It's when two bodies intertwine,
heads full of dingleberry wine,
that God may turn his eyes away
and all his angels start to pray.
The Devil, meanwhile, takes a culture
out from his lab and, like a vulture,
descends to the terrarium
with treponema pallidum.
He sticks his head beneath the covers
to ascertain that the two lovers
are out of wedlock, fornicating;
(that's illegitemately mating) .
The Devil's hand, meanwhile had rested
upon their knees and thus infested
the outer layers of their skin
with bugs, as payment for the sin.
And then, he leaves, as in a fashion,
the heat of utter sexual passion
dilates the pores of four nude legs,
wherein the germs then lay their eggs.
Thus grows and festers the infection.
And in three weeks, the next erection
produces pain and one mean pimple.
The doc says 'LUES', plain and simple.

So, if you're horny, young and willing
allergic not to Penicillin,
go, have your fun, I wish you well.
But watch for nasty bugs from Hell.
