None of the other
diseases
Want to play with me.
I am hurt by
Avoidance
Because I am the Plague
Smallpox says I am too
ugly
That’s saying something
He is gross
Pock-marked
His nickname is not
Death
Greatpox is the popular
kid
He has all the friends
Everyone’s pal
Syphillis
He spreads by love, not
rats
Typhoid says I am dull
and lame
He is from the tropics
They forget my
Ancestry
Heralds from over seas
They taunt, they tease,
they ridicule
Calling me Black Death
Disliked I am
Loneliness
Leprosy stays my only friend
