The Indians of Manitoba
grew acres of Ginkgo Biloba.
but the squaws had a taste
made it into a paste
it was used to make warriors sober.
In the brain of an active redskin
lives right next to traditional sin
a big bundle of hoses
all the colour of roses
if they get their Biloba you win.
As this herb works by instant dilation
it bestows an euphoric sensation
and a mental perfusion
is no simple illusion
but an intellect titillation.
Well, you're flirting with political correctness issues in that middle stanza, but I get it. And get a bottle of the stuff (the generic kind you recommended) . I had to stretch a little to 'get' the middle stanza, but I do now. As I said backchannel, a book of medical/health limericks, with illustrations, might be just the thing the world needs. (But what if your publisher says, 'This is a great book, but we can't publish anything so pro-cholesterol and so vehemently anti-fluoride. Fluoride is NOT responsible for all the world's problems.' You could always self-publish.) Tee-hee!
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
To make the publisher see things my way, I would give him some fluoride, take his cholesterol away and BINGO, he would be on my side. H
