Where is early Alzheimer’s?
- Home-care agencies
Mod’rate cases, few years passed?
- Fill long-term nursing homes
Weren’t some medications tried?
- Functions slid and patients died;
Care system’s overburdened -
When will we ever learn?

Where has neurosyphilis gone?
Headstones fading
Textbooks say it filled asylums
Long time ago.
Where Trep. pallidum would lurk,
Course of Penicillin works,
One thing we clearly learned
One thing we clearly learned.

Where is all the Wernicke’s
encephalopathy?
Confabulating, filling wards
I saw it long ago.
Malnourished boozers off the road
Saved by whopping thiamine load -
Another thing we’ve learned
A useful thing we’ve learned.

Hypothyroid mania?
- Hormone treatment
Tots doomed by leukodystrophy?
- Lorenzo’s oil
Polio? - Almost gone, my son,
Vaccinated everyone.
Perhaps, few things we’ve learned?
I guess few things we’ve learned.

Where’s dementia research gone?
Some fills graveyards
Prod choline receptors? – seems not
helpful in long term.
Inhibit amyloid?
- Doesn’t fill the treatment void.
Where’s that key thing to learn?
Where’s that key thing to learn?

Where have “the Alzheimers’” gone?
- Home-care agencies.
Mod’rate cases, few years passed?
- Fill long-term nursing homes.
Weren’t “preventive measures” done?
- Gone to graveyards every one;
Care-givers overburdened -
I hope someday we’ll learn.
