I didn't realize my satiric limerick had quite reached the level of satanic, but thank you, John! :-) Brooke
Comment from Colin Douglas
Very good.
Clever and brief, as any limerick must be.
I had to reread it a couple of times to put it properly to the beat, and the last line is a little forced, as if it doesn't quite fit.
Still, it was fun. Thank you for posting.

Outstanding! Very sad and very true...Those in desperate need should be at the top of the list in a proud country like ours..but unfortunately, it is not so.
Wonderfully written poem

Thank you, Carol - yes, it makes us a bit less proud each time we fail to address the needs of those most vulnerable. Brooke
Comment from Nicnac
A funny limerick! (And timely as well.)
I have to admit - I have no idea what Pacem means. ??
You found the perfect image for this poem!

Such a fit limerick for our times, though sad. The lines all fit the qualifications and it reads very smoothly. Cheers, Don

Comment from IndianaIrish
Your satire is very entertaining, Brooke, and the limerick is a perfect form. Insurance, drug companies, and health care...don't get me started--they make me nuts. (My son is a 5 year post kidney transplant patient without insurance--have I got some stories! lol)

Oh, Karyn, I can only imagine the horror stories you must be able to share. Thank you for your thoughtful response, and I wish you and your son all the luck you need with your situation. Brooke
Comment from Blue Danube
adewpearl:
You are a fine poet.
This satiric limerick is unfortunately too true.
Wonder when will the health system work right for everyone.
The horror stories of people dying because of being turned away keep getting more abundant.
No good reason why patients can't get the care they need.
The words in "Requiescat in Pacem" along with the picture of death make an honest--if terrifying--statement

Excellent modern day limerick with perfect rhythm, artwork and satire for the punch! Great choice of words for the concise rhyme. Another knock out!

Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Adewpearl ....
What you have so clearly stated in this short work, written in Limerick format, is like a summing up of the state of things in the world today.
There is nothing to suggest changing and I thank you for sharing this with us.
With love from ...... Nanette Mary.

Comment from Sasha
You are certainly better at this than my Dad. Very clever and I like the satire very much. I am sorry it took me so long to respond but I've been without my computer for two days. But it's back now and I am trying to catch up on all my messages.

I'm so glad you have your computer again, Valerie. I'm going to have to get you to write an affadavit to my children that you certify that I'm funny! LOL Thanks, Brooke
