Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

What's Up Doc

A doctor can cure people’s ills
By prescribing lotions and pills
Cannot get an appointment -
Dad needs hemorrhoid ointment
Eyes water, poor dad needs no thrills!

Find medics to help him real quick
Great bulging piles get on his wick
He needs his treatment today
I will assist him to pay
Joins BUPA; they’ll treat when you’re sick!
