A Little Prick

The doctor says I need a shot
For something that I have not got
The nurse takes aim
As if to maim
And I should tell them, "Thanks a lot!"?

Perfect title. You've probably increased your readership at least tenfold, Rico. (still chuckling) Oh, enjoyed the limerick, too.

My daughter once jumped (because her brother scared her) inoculating the nurse. LOL!

At the age of two, my granddaughter simply yanked the needle out of her arm and nurse's hand, and tossed it across the room. One thing is certain: pharmaceuticals prosper! Aloha!
