Backyard Remedy

After booking for a consul-tation, The doctor prescribed medi-cation, But when I stood on a rake, Then stepped back on a snake; That’s what cured my consti-pation.

Thank you Maurice... I see you picked up on the innovative rhyme. I felt I had to separate the words to make the rhyme appear proper. The remedy... no, your advise is wise - Lindsay

Oh dear! This is a gem, though I wouldn't advise it as a remedy for anything! What innovative rhymes you chose, too! Keep us laughing, Lindsay. / M

Thank you John... I had an angry tiger snake confront me once so I guess that influenced me, but... at the time it wasn't funny at all. I'm convinced that you can't tell a funny enough joke to get a grin out of a tiger snake - Lindsay

Too right Paul... the problem with an instant cure like this is, a small consequence that needs addressing as well - Lindsay

Hello njeri... yes, and its one of nature's cures too. I'm no better than other limerick writers njeri, but um... I'd prefer you start to call me king of limericks; haha - Lindsay
