Gregory Richard Barden Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

It's Not the Size of the Needle

There once was a phlebotomist, Rick

Taking care with the people he'd stick

Always used needles, tiny

So his patients, ne'er whiny

Loved him most for his soft little prick.

Rico Gregory Richard Barden September 4, 2019 at 8:34 PM Thank you so much, Rico - it's all about interpretation, literally it's about needles and no "bad" words involved.
