Get Well Soon

I had a Head Nurse that was just born mean The ugliest woman I'd ever seen A voice like sharp ice Never could be nice She made old Nurse Ratchet seem like a queen

I think some take a perverse pleasure in being mean. Congrats on your win with this nicely formed Limerick, Barbara

Dear LNC, I get shivers just thinking of Nurse Ratchet! Remember "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" quite well. Congratulations on your win. Check the blog I just posted on the home page and you'll find that a dozen people helped decide the rankings for this contest. Love, Carolyn
