Whenever there`s a bite

A wound that goes in deep

Ledum comes to mind

A useful remedy

Punctures aren`t the only thing

For which he does apply

Rheumatism, alcoholism

A puffy, bloated guy

All this booze he`s drinking

Is bound to cause some gout

His sour disposition

No one would brag about

Broken down by alcohol

Living life alone

He`s absolutely chilly

But so prefers the cold

I guess it helps his achy limb

Helps the surly state he`s in

Arthritic, chilly, cranky guy

Ledum`s life, no cherry pie.
