Paul Callus Poet Limerick

Doc's Advice

Oft I turn to my friend Doc Mc Neish
When depressed; he just says: Eat a quiche
Hear me out; do not scoff
Missus got barking cough
His advice: Put her quick on a leash!

Timothy Hicks December 14, 2014 at 2:24 AM Barking - ha! That doc sounds "barking" mad ;) I'm not sure what eating a quiche has to do with the wifie having a cough. But that's the great thing about limericks. They are zany and can go anywhere you like! The only real stipulation is a chuckle at the end :) Paul Callus December 15, 2014 at 10:29 AM Hi Timothy! Doc handed out special treatments...(e.g. quiche for depression); his treatment for barking cough was his own original one, too. Hope you got a little chuckle out of it. // paul
