Kim Rodrigues Poet Light Verse

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.”

Maurice Rigoler February 1, 2018 at 9:26 PM 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 Kim Rodrigues February 1, 2018 at 10:01 PM Thanks! I didn’t catch it! Given your comment, I will change to a different form! Thanks, my friend!
