Medicinal Limericks

Physicians say
  A limerick a day
    helps keep melancholia away
I say, a limerick's a poet's child's play

I love a limerick a day! When I get in the limerick mood, it is usually three or five limericks though, as I get on a little roll with Trixie loving it.

Trixie sprouts lim(b)s, eh?! Glad to hear that she's 'branching out.' Let's leaf that one alone. (Groan). :) gw

‘A spoon full of limericks helps the medicine go down, in the most delightful way...’ Just what the doctor ordered, Gershon! ~Mark

Very creative comment -- 'a spoonful of limericks' -- you've penned here, Mark. Appreciated. ~ gw

Yes Gershon … also limericks have a way to make us laugh, cry, muse, think etc. in such few lines. Passing thoughts in structured rhyme I reckon - thanks again Gershon - Lindsay

I should have noted that you, yes YOU, were the inspiration for this poem. It came to me as I read your Dennis the Tennis Menace epic, and realized that you wrote a limerick yesterday, a limerick today, and a limerick a day---and away we go! :) gw
