Notes About The Poem

Feb- 27- 2026

Palindrome Limerick Poetry Competition

Sponsor- Joseph May


 

At the ICU

Man, under dope-"Nurse, I find gypsies, run"
He cried in alarm as if he was done.
The nurse laughed out quite loud
"It's a machine in shroud"
"Mad? am I madam?'' You're making fun!

This is quite a humorous but then again not humorous if a person is working in the ER and having to deal with someone in this condition. It reads like a winner to me for the contest. Way to go. Sara K
