A DIAGNOSIS.
1
One Mary Ann Jemima Bott,
Had some complaint, no one knew what;
Altho' 'twas said by knowing tongue
She'd cerebritis of the lung.

A doctor came to diagnose,
And hit it off so very close
That all could see right from the start
That she'd pneumonia on the heart.

Old wives, old maids, and maidens, too,
All came to see what they could do;
And they believed the pain and hummock
Showed she'd carditis on the stomach.

Until it seemed to indicate
It might involve her appendix
And put the lady in a fix.
5
The hours rolled on, the pains grew deep;
She doubled up all in a heap;
But notwithstanding this and that
It weighed ten pounds nine ounces flat.113
