Doctor's Pet

There lived an old man named Brett
Doctor’s delight and hospital’s pet
He got finally convinced
It’s better to be deceased 
Than be in medicine’s throttling net!

A well insight into the medicine of today. I love the limerick, nicely written ~ Debra

Sad, but true. The world of end-of-life care is exactly what it pretends not-to-be, i.e., it's what kills people. Grim and grimmer, gw

Oh my! It is hard to be in that net! Takes courage beyond our imagining. <3

I can see the fun side of this limerick. Very well composed. Glad you liked my orchid. It is full of healthy leave but no flower spike yet. Blessings.

Another funny and well-written limerick Valsa, this doctor might have Alzheimer's disease due to his work with animals at his hospital. Thanks for sharing
