Gleanings From The Cutting Room Floor Liquids

Rating: 2.8


PART ONE MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

ACIDS


"Oh, dear, doctor, I've given him H2SO4, not H2O, " nurse cried hotly.
"That'll sure clear his throat! " doctor replied acidly.
The patient screamed "It hurts"... somewhat impatiently.
"Now, now, you'll be all right, " nurse lied... somewhat implausibly.
Sadly the guy died... and rather fatally.

BLOOD

"Now, where's the bleeding, sir? " the Doctor asked quite sanguinely.
"You know, my bleeding nose, " the patient cried.
"Ah, yes, " I see, " the nurse observed nosily and knowingly.

SALT SOLUTION

"Give him a Saline drip, " the doctor ordered saltily.
"Which lady? " asked nurse. "No, leave that witch till later, " he answered hazily.


INJECTIONS

"Left posterior, nurse.. Left! " Doctor instructed cheekily.

"Not right, left, you clown, " he roared directionally.
"Oh, sorry, Doc, I only know port and starboard, " she apologized navigationally.
"Oi, I ain't no pin cushion, " the patient cried, getting the needle quite sharply.

I love puns! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! You can pun with the best- -I started snickering on line #1, sniggering on line #2, chuckling on line #3, giggling like a mad scientist by line #4, totally sold by line #5. You are now my official go-to poet for having a little pun! ! ! snicker snicker

I'll have to have a go with those alcoholic ones but I've just had tequila and I'm feeling a bit rum. or I should say rumingly. Oh, well, back to the drawing board, he said yawningly. Oh no, it's that Wes's fault. can't rid of it.. well, not systematically. No way... Thanks Tom

OMG...you are so hilarious! Love this! I wanted to write something witty in response, but I'm too busy laughing to think.

oh, knowing you, yo'll think of something. I got mixed up a bit with that Garden of Eden. I thought Barry had written one but I read your comments and you said your poem arose from a discussion, not one of his poems. Anyway I found one of his called Gaia and it was very good indeed. So nothing lost there! I'm not sure how much scope I have with liquids. i know when Wes was trying to make me guess about what he was driving at, he said bodily Fluids. Think I'll ignore that, thinking back to yesterday at the Pub and all those lovely liquors. Like aladdin's cave. I had a Dizzy Blonde beer, cool real cool! Must be potential for fun there. Have a go yourself! Many thanks Tom
