My big toe nails in-grow, The pain is crippling and unfair. Unpleasant I'll have you know, No cure, must grim and bare.
I've cut a "V" into my nail, No recurrence ever since. Doctors say "old wives tale" And "there's simply no evidence".
My girlfriend laughs all ways, Her son intellectually with a nod, Looks me in the eye and says; "Post hoc ergo propter hoc!"
The pain is from many years ago, I remember it all too well, That I should my "V" forego, My response is; "Go to hell!"
