Limericks for Sick!Wilson

[menolly_au]

There was a young doctor called Wilson
One day he decided to Hilson
He jumped into the bed,
And hit his own head,
His blood, when it flowed, was quite crimson


There was a brave biker with cancer
On the road he became quite the dancer
He twirled and he turned,
His life was not burned,
House wouldn't take no for an answer


There were two good men from New Jersey
Their love for each other was worthy
They left and they rode,
Their bikes they bestrode,
And they prayed to God for some mercy

Hee. They're all great, but I love the second one best -- it's got twirling!Wilson and surviving!Wilson :D

Surviving!Wilson is my favourite type at the moment :)

I like the second one best too! But they're all good. ♥

Thanks :)

I actually think House loves Wilson so much he would even pray.

Liked all three, but my favorite's the first, because having Hilson become a verb is just the best.
[Also, it's cheering me up: today my own Wilsony did the last three lines, except the bed was a rock in the school's playground. There's indeed a lot of blood, even though it's a really minor cut just under his right eyebrow.]

OT: Are limericks common throughout the English-speaking world?
They're unknown in Italian.

Metaphorical praying I think :)

The trouble with Wilson is that it doesn't rhyme with much of anything, I was pleased when I came up with Hilson :)

Oh yeah, my nephew did the 'cut head' thing in front of me once, arghh.. the blood, the child screaming...makes it seem much worse than it is.

Hmm- I don't know about limericks, I think they're an English thing so probably spread through the former colonies I guess.

makes it seem much worse than it is.
Luckily it happened at school: I can't stand the sight of blood, I would have been completely useless.

the former colonies
So all the English-speaking countries :).

The search engine I used gives bilson, chilson, dilson, filson, gillson, gilson, hillson, hilson, jillson, milson, nilsen, nilson, nilsson, philson, pilson, stillson, stilson, tillson, tilson, willson. Not so useful.

Metaphorical praying
Is there any other kind? ;)

All and all, limericks are pretty much outdated these days. There are very few people who write new ones. Also, while limerick is an old form of poetry, there are many people in the English speaking world who continue to recite dirty limericks on a regular basis. If you want to know more about the origin of limericks/ how to write them, etc the Wikipedia page is actually quite informative and accurate (which isn't always the case).

Oh these are great! I too love that "Hilson" has been turned into a verb. And I rather like the second one as well, as it cures Wilson. I like the last one as well, and I agree with damigella, I think House would pray if it meant saving Wilson.

Rhymes are difficult :) I was pleased with Hilson :) Thanks for reading!

[rslhilson.livejournal.com]

Loved them all! I, too, thought it was great that you turned Hilson into a verb :)

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked them :) I was pleased with Hllson as a verb :)

[barefootpuddles.livejournal.com]

They are all great. You are quite the poet. :) I am especially fond of the second one.

[menolly-au.livejournal.com]

Lol, I think I'll stick to prose :) Thanks for reading :)
