Bad News

Today Doctor had my wife in tears,
He delivered her greatest of fears,
For a full body check
left her a mental wreck...  
I should live for twenty more years.

G'day Paul... don't be sorry Paul. My wife even laughed at this limerick... perhaps sarcastically. Catch you soon Paul - Lindsay

Love your wicked sense of humor, Lindsay. Is your wife aware that you have given her a starring role in your limericks more than once?

G'day Kim... Oh yes. My wife has heard me recite a few poems that she starred in. What annoyed her was the audience gazing at her while they laughed. It is dangerous territory though - thank you Kim - Lindsay
