Acute Appendicitis in Rhyme

Of all the ills within the abdomen 
Which cause affliction to the sons of men 
There's none more often puts them in a fix 
Than trouble in the worm-like appendix- 
That caecal tail which sometimes tells a story 
Or figures in a scene which may be gory, 
That arch-deceiver, symbol of the devil 
Which leads to every kind of septic evil, 
That unexploded bomb which soon or late 
Aperients may serve to detonate; 
That worm which often turns to bad effect 
And makes us treat it with a great respect, 
That foul assassin whose supreme delight 
Choosing the place and knowing well the site 
To stab below the belt and on the right is 
Causing that dread disease - appendicitis.

That's the full rhyme...

Prof Peter Lee quoted this from Sir Zachary Cope's out of print 'The Acute Abdomen in Rhyme'. I googled for the full text, unfortunately to no avail.
