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
Go Retire Psychiatrist
