Limerick

Swearing Mother has initiated a limerick meme - Your Life in a Limerick.

My true, but pathetic, attempt is:

A family so incredibly tired
Of the life in which they are mired
Say, "Go to the press"
"Slag off the NHS"
"Just give us the treatment desired"



UPDATE: A few hours sleep brought a much more appropriate final word. This now leaves the limerick as:


A family so incredibly tired
Of the life in which they are mired
Say, "Go to the press"
"Slag off the NHS"
"Just give us the treatment required"

Very neat, Calum.

It is depressing when you put it like that. Now for the six word memoir meme.

Very good and very apt.

Very good :-)

Calum, you are brilliant. Those four lines describe so well the trials and tribulations I know you suffer.

Maybe you should send it to the Editor of The Times, with an explanation of what lead you to it. I'd like to hear what the so called Minister for Health had to say in reply.
