Limerick.31. Doctors' Delight

Rating: 4.8


There lived an old man named Brett-
Doctor’s delight and hospital’s pet.
He got convinced;
It’s better to be deceased,
Than be in medicine’s throttling net!

He has to go to each doctor in turn At its end it is one more round. All this is of deep concern Hope soon, a solution is found.

The side effects of medicine can be worse then the disease, entertaining with great black humour!

Some people have this feeling especially when they hate going to hospitals and taking medicines always. Some medicines have other effects on the body that are foreign to what they are really intended. However, treatment and prevention are better than be sorry later. A wonderful limerick with a meaningful message. Cleverly written.

Vexation on medication is well depicted in the read with diction mam. Opinions may vary from person to person and condition too. Yet life is beautiful.

On 1st April,2008 I survived of a heart attack and in the words of my daughter-in-law I made every one a 1st April Fool, Since then medicines have become a part of my life and I am tired now. Great poem.

When life is caught in the never ending cycle of pain and medicine, every man tends to become something of Mr. Brett. So it is important that all of us lead a healthy life with proper diet and exercise. Enjoyed it.
