Pimple<\/p>\n\n\n\n
——————–<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pimple just above the rear,
It was small, innocuous, and clear,
No pain at all, just tiny bump,
And so, it seemed irrelevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did inflammation soon begin?
A barely smoldering fire within \u2014
The pimple started to inflate,
Swelling more at a steady rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then aching came, a burning flair,
Then stronger pain now filled the air,
Soon hellish fire started to rise,
Paralyzing mind with pain and cries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The body couldn’t eat or drink,
The mind in pain began to sink,
Life \u2014 no longer sweet, now cursed;
The burning pain was growing worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any small evil can grow grand,
If you don’t stop it at the strand,
For what starts small can escalate \u2014
Nipping it early can save your fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
