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 :)

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

This was the best one to put into the contest, because your meter is really good in this one and this is the funniest of them all!! Love it.

Thank you Charm; so glad I managed to put a smile on your lips! Missus limericks are alright, as long as they do not offend. Hubby ones would make for a good read, too. // paul

I will not scoff at a limerick as good as this one. Now you wouldn't think of putting the missus on a leash? or would you..hmmm. BG

On a leash no...but on a pedestal, yes!:) Glad you enjoyed this limerick, Barbara; your outlaw was too cocksure! Take care. // paul

Keeping a limerick clean and clever is not easy, but you'll arrive there; keep at it girl! Don't forget to go by the meter:) hugs // paul
