Jerks, Perks and Piles

By Mahendra Gonsalkorala

My Auntie Cedent was really the Boss
To understand why, you may be at a loss
She always preceded my Uncle Jerk
Just like my beloved Auntie, Cipation
But for many, there was no such perk

In Syphilia, Uncle Jerk could disappear completely
But in close by Cord Compressionia surprisingly
Uncle Jerk becomes highly exaggerated and brisk
But sadly his stiff legs made safe walking
Tardy and a matter of considerable risk

Uncle Jerk was in behaviour most reflex
Many were puzzled by a man so complex
His reaction relied on incoming sensation
His response muted or with much exaggeration
Depending on impulse strength and location

Now, Mr Hema Roid the famous surgeon
Specialised in matters affecting the nether Region
Very versatile and talented was he
Equally at home with ligation or injection
As with staples and complete resection
