A doctor who worked in Bombay
Banned seventeen patients one day
They all had Delhi belly ...
Waiting room got so smelly
Receptionist turned them away!

To where did she turn them away, Jan? Haha! Never heard the expression "Delhi belly" but I assume from the context it's a term for diahrea. Thanks for the stop by. Best to you as always. / M

They stopped us visiting mum's carehome for 2 weeks as they had the norovirus there - if we had known it was so long we would have had a short holiday - we used to still go almost every day to check the update on the notice board. Hugs jan xx
