Perfect Outfit Gone Horribly Wrong

Ready to go trick or treat 
Disguised in attire I hit the street
I was the helpful nurse
With medicine to disburse
His eye on me, he fell over his feet
 
So there he lay, flat on his face
Another medical case
Everyone looked at me
The nurse wanna be
Needless to say I wish for hidden space

So instead of trick or treat 
I ended up on a whole different beat 
Next to a hospital bed
Having to hold his hand instead
And I didn’t even get a sweet



2nd place
HALLOWEEN LIMERICK CONTEST

Haha, kool one Wilma. Nurses do look so lovely in uniform I have to admit. But more so, they don't get recognised enough. Made me chuckle this fine Sunday >> James :)

He fell down because men fantasize about beautiful nurses, Wilma! Seeing a knockout like you in this attire was just too much for him. Witty and "sweet" limerick. (I'm sure he would have given you some sweets after he woke up.) Love, Carolyn
