PH162
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
It was just one night with a hot man,
Then came a burning sensation on the can.
What could this be?
That burned so stingingly!
I hurried my way to the hospital,
Praying it was not something fatal.
The Doc said it was called “the clap,”
That I needed to get treated ASAP.
Else, it could get quite nasty -
Urethritis, arthritis, even infertility!
Why it’s only a small creature, this Neisseria gonorrhoeae,
How it causes such a fuss, I cannot say.
The Doc replied, “your strain has an IgA protease,
Along with a pili that keeps it in place.
But don’t worry; no need to get maudlin,
All you really need is penicillin.”
In a few days I breathed a sigh of relief,
That my gonorrhea encounter had been brief.
And I haven't forgotten about that hot man,
Because I'm running over him with a rented van.
