Pre-Med Limericks

[QofQuimica]

I've enjoyed reading all the haiku
And it's fun posting some of mine too
So now I'm proposing
That you start composing
Pre-med limericks written by you.

awesome Q! I'll start thinking 🙂

 

[UCLAstudent]

Study hard and still fail my exam.
Wonder how cut out I really am?
If I bomb every test,
I'm much worse than the rest.
Perhaps I should stop trying to cram.

 

[tigress]

as inspired by UCLAstudent

If my vision is starting to blur
And when I speak it's only a slur
I should head straight to bed
(Or drink caffeine instead!)
Or I will fail my exam for sure

 

[priyanka]

I'll be there to hold you tight,
On a lonely night or a starry night.
It be tears rushing,
Or the joys blushing,
Won't let you go out of sight.




PS: lol sorry lets blame the emotional characteristic of my piece to the "thursday night effect".

 

[rachmoninov3]

ok, aa bb a...here it goes

applying to med school is insane
seems like I'm driving super slow in the ultra fast lane
hurry up and wait
just a thirdshifter up late
with medical school on the brain.

 

[QofQuimica]

I am working on my PhD
In bioorganic chemistry
My reactions stirring
While I am enduring
More projects being assigned to me!

 

[tigress]

My test today better be easy
The prospect is making me queasy
But soon it will be done
I can go have some fun
Perhaps play a game of Parcheesi!

lol not much rhymes with easy 😛

 

[PublicEnemy]

this thread is pathetic
you people make me sick
I must go
and leave pre-allo
else i spout more rhetoric

i'm just kiddin. lets see some more.

 

[dopaminophile]

Everyday more inspections
Each one brings erections.
No excitement subsides
as I peek inside.
... at least no rejections.

[PublicEnemy]

everyday i check the mail
but alas its to no avail
don't comfort me
for can't you see
to be a doctor, i will fail

 

[NontradICUdoc]

I sit and study as hard as can be
For lord knows it must be an A not a C
For soon I will Start
Tearing pages apart
As I write that statement about me

Ode to Working as an ER Tech

I know a good doc when I see one;
And I know that with time, I will be one.
So I get off my butt
And I help with the scut.
Maybe I shall return, as a G-1. 😀

 

[dopaminophile]

awesome!

 

[UseUrHeadFred]

I've worked on my brains and my brawn
But tonight I will party till dawn
Don't stay up and wait
I'm coming home late
Because the semester is gone.

 

[TripleDegree]

There was once a non-trad called Ken
Who applied to med school with zen
But, he found to his rage
That the average age
Of the entering M1 was ten!

 

[TripleDegree]

SDN is a fun place to be!
With so much info for free!
However now and again
A troll causes us pain
Before getting banned permanently!

 

[dopaminophile]

We can't let the lims drop too far.
We'll start wondering where they are.
So this is a bump
And not a butt hump.
Confusion could easily be thar.

 

[no-see-um]

There once was a girl from Cincinnatomy,
She liked to sit on my anatomy...

 

[UseUrHeadFred]

Bump

 

[UCLAstudent]

Interview season is almost done.
Why haven't I gotten even one?
Is it my GPA?
Did my MCAT betray?
I think I'll bust out my water gun. 😡

[QofQuimica]

I'm pondering starting applying
I'm writing and thinking and vying
All of the advice-ing
Sounds good and enticing
Until come decisions denying

Febrifuge, please write some more! I love this one.

 

[QofQuimica]

I don't know about you guys, but I find myself thinking of these things in the most inconvenient places and times. I came up with this one while I was driving and I had to pull over and write it down!

I wish I could be ten times smarter
Make some kind of Faustian barter
But the sale of my soul
Is a bad pre-med goal
So I guess I'll just have to work harder.

YOU, smarter? You're like my MCAT idol!! 😀

 

[tigress]

wrote this after my exam yesterday:

I just bombed a ridiculous test
and succeeded in making a mess
of my application.
After preperation,
I thought I gave it my best 🙁 🙁

 

[2tall]

I'm so happy t'have finished my apps
Do I think I will get in? Perhaps.
But I'm sick of this waiting
It's so constipating
All this worryin' holds up my craps

Hehe...Who knew poetry could be so fun?

 

[2tall]

To get into med school with ease
I'm beggin...down on my knees!
What more can I do?
Make dessert for you..
With cherries on top, pretty please?

 

[TripleDegree]

Valiant jobs everyone! I'd say we should all stick to our day jobs, there's no budding Ralph Waldo Emersons here!! 🙂 🙂

 

[QofQuimica]

YOU, smarter? You're like my MCAT idol!! 😀

Well, maybe a clone then? So I could get more done?

I wish I could clone me a double
Who'd be there to serve as my sub-el
We would synchronize shifts
To avoid any rifts
And play pranks without getting in trouble

 

[Febrifuge]

This one is beyoo-tee-ful.

I wish I could be ten times smarter
Make some kind of Faustian barter
But the sale of my soul
Is a bad pre-med goal

I see students come through on rotations,
One tough question can cause palpitations.
So at least when it's me
Being pimped til I pee
I'll have suitably grim expectations.

Ode to Crapper.
In honor of the 90th anniversery of his death, which was yesterday.

He saved us from usin' the lawn.
That guy that invented the john.
I'd ache were it missin'
'cause I love all the pissin'
when I shake, zip, flush, and it's gone!

 

[Dr. Donkey]

This one isn't mine but one of the best I've heard.

There was a young man from Kent
Whose tool was exceedingly bent
To save him the trouble
He folded it double
And instead of coming, he went

 

[dopaminophile]

Ode to Crapper II
how I long for a canine crapper

I work out what time that boy'll ****.
but eatin' many meats just foils it.
any time on the can
needn't follow a plan
So I wish my dog used a toilet.

As far as borrowed ones go, one of my favorites is from "The Life of David Gale."

There once was a girl from Cancun,
who took a man up to her room.
They argued all night
over who had the right
to do what and how much and to whom.

I don't know why I like that one all that much. It's not even very funny. I think it's just the last line that gets me.

 

[dopaminophile]

I just noticed something... does anybody know why Cat's Meow got banned? She was a little wierd but didn't seem too trollish to me. I suppose she did flame people occassionally, but she called them things like "nose picker," "doodoo head," and "meanie." She seemed pretty harmless and I didn't see anything in her last few posts.

I don't quite understand how to do this stuff. What do you mean a-a-b-b-a? and a syllable structure of 9-9-6-6-9.

ExplaiN!

 

[Dr. Donkey]

line 1 rhymes with line 2 (a-a), line 2 with line 3 (b-b), and line 3 with lines 1 and 2 (a).

9 syllables in lines 1, 9 in line 2, 6 in line 3, etc.

The strong and weak means which syllables receive a strong or weak emphasis (a.k.a. stress)

[masterMood]

OH okay thanks, but if there were 9 syllables why would you have WEAK WEAK STRESS WEAK WEAK STRESS WEAK WEAK STRESS WEAK WEAK <--- that'd be 11 syllables or is that just to show that that is the general pattern.

There once was a young man named Mehmood.
He was so hungry he made some food.
He got sick from the flu.
Because he forgot to chew.
So, yes, he was genuinly screwed.

They say nine syllables then when they write out the emphasis they put 11 & 8 not 9 & 6. I think that it should be sets of weak, weak, strong. 3 sets in 1,2,5 and 2 sets in 3,4... like every limerick ever written.

weak, weak, strong, weak, weak, strong, fit my dong (rhyme a)
weak, weak, strong, weak, weak, strong, in a thong (rhyme a)
weak, weak, strong, weak, weak, strong (rhyme b)
weak, weak, strong, weak, weak, strong (rhyme b)
weak, weak, strong, weak, weak, strong, its too long (rhyme a)

Dopaminophile's rhymes are the grossest
But they're also the ones coming closest
To what we'll be doing
In med school (pee u-ing!)
So keep coming up with the post-ests 👍

Quimica's rhymes are the smartest.
As a doc she'll be a word artist.
With my vulgar sort
And her witty tort,
In med school no one would part us!
