“Intertrigo” by Boghos Artinian MD

   Posted by: admin   in Poetry

Skipper, newly licensed,
planning for a pleasant sail
to the Greek islands
with someone who mustn’t
see intertrigo  in his groins!
‘Doctor! I must be cleared
of this chronic pest
within ten days’. ‘OK’ I say:
‘take one griseofulvin a day—
five hundred milligrams,
copiously powder your groins,
in the mornings, with Daktarin
and rub Lotriderm cream
in the evenings. If that doesn’t
clear your intertrigo
By the time you set sail,
nothing will.
And in that case do not
show her your groins!’

* Interigo is jock itch
