A leprechaun’s pot held no gold Just vaccine of value untold He peddled injections Stopped Covid infections But still has no shot for a cold February 24, 2021 For Milton's St. Patrick's Day Limerick contest

Oh I do like this one. So true too. We can even cure some cancrs but still no cure for the common cold but lots of vitamin C and bed rest. Great job hr. God Bless, JB

Yes, at least we have treatments for the common cold. Last night on TV, one doctor said a med had been discovered to CURE Covid 19 -- not a vaccine, but a cure. If true, that would be substantial progress. Thanks for reading!

I love this, a vaccine is worth many pots of gold, deft and cleverly put, hope it brings home a win for you~

Ain't it the truth. He needs to come up with a 5-leaf clover or something. :) gw

Good one. Reads like a good contender for the contest. The best way to avoid a cold is stay home. LOL..Most don't want to do that. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Lindsay hit the nail on the head and you very correctly had the answer to which no solution will ever be found, not in the interest of GP's and the Medical personnel. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hello Carolyn … strange that Carolyn, but there’s plenty of snake oil on shelves that claim they can. Well done Carolyn; a very pertinent question - Lindsay

I think manufacturers make so much money selling cold remedies that they will never allow a cure to be found. Thanks for reading!

If the leprechaun has a vaccine, I hope it's an effective one.

Thanks, Ilene. Access to the vaccine seems to be improving here. Hope you are able to get the shot when your turn comes up.

I hear reports of people stealing vaccines. Two young ladies donned gray wigs and tried to get the vaccine before it was their turn. Obviously, they got caught. Hope you can get your shot soon!

Love this Carolyn. Too cute. Made me smile in it's irony. We can come up with cures for many things. Even some cancers yet the common cold still has us stumped. Excellent, God Bless, JB

I would say, kudos to the leprechaun. Not a minor accomplishment--he stopped Covid! LOL!! Great ending line, Carolyn.
