Medical limericks

 

limerick

A girl called Jane took an airplane to Spain,
And developed abdominal pain.
She went straight to bed and drank something red,
And twelve hours later was dead.

There was a young man called Rimple
Who squeezed a very large pimple.
It caused him much pain and spread to the brain
And left him alive but quite simple.
