Go Retire Psychiatrist

Today, in view of this being Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m calling attention to other national special days. One of them is National Hospital Day (and there’s also a National Hospital Week, which runs from May 10-16 this year). And I learned that this is also National Limerick Day, in honor of the English author and poet who popularized the limerick.

I got a big kick out of The King of Limericks website. Check out the Mental Limericks about Psychiatry.

Here’s my limerick:

I was a consulting psychiatrist

I walked so much I needed a podiatrist

The rooms were so bare I brought my own chair

And the ICU patients were the quietest
