Patient Diagnosis

Though given great thought, with nights that were long, The doctor informs the intern - he’s wrong. A great diagnosis by the book! He gives the doctor a quizzical look. Doc lifts up the sheet - “he’s been dead all along.” 1/30/2018

Yes, it happens! The humor is there but your limerick form isn't? BTW, "diagnoses" (plural) should be the singular "diagnosis." Thoght you'd like to know. / M
