Limerick Contest Week Two!
It’s the second week of our Limerick Contest! All this month, we’re soliciting limericks from our readership (and free range poets!) in a competition to see if we can find the best Medical Limerick EVER.
Here are the top three entries we’ve received this week. Make sure to vote for your favorite by leaving a comment sharing which one you thought was best. At the end of the month, we’ll be having a final vote to select the best of all the winning limericks! The winner receives an autographed copy of “This Won’t Hurt A Bit!” and fame and glory!
Without further ado:
Limerick A:
Nurse Nathan’s adroitness is stellar
when he wrestles a sticking umbrella.
Yet on a dance floor
He howls out, “No more!
This is killing my tricky patella!”
Limerick B:
A patient I had in Alberquerqe
claimed an allergy to cold turkey
A slice on his plate
Would make his stomach gyrate
And his movements grow terribly jerky!
Limerick C:
I once had a patient named Perkins
who adored eating pickles and gherkins
She found them so nice
Adored all their spice
and pickled her internal workin’s
Do You Have Poetry In Your Soul? ENTER THE CONTEST!
Here’s what you need to do:

All of the winning limericks will then be posted on January 31st, and readers will be able to each pick their favorite. The author who wrote the limerick that receives the most votes wins an autographed copy of Karyn Buxman’s This Won’t Hurt A Bit! And Other Fractured Truths in Healthcare and more importantly, fame and glory unmatched by any other honor available in the world of medical poetry today!
