Whose Time is Worth More?
A limerick about the waiting room
By Staci TroiloPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
The doctor said not to be late.
That’s a no-show; we’ll charge the full rate.
So, early was I
but my efforts were nigh.
An hour the staff made me wait.

The only limericks I've ever heard are risqué, and I've never written one. I thought this sounded fun, so I wrote five (in various tones, from light-hearted to serious). I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
