Asbestos Attorney

Poems Based On The Most Desirable Adwords, Part IV:
A Limerick On The Theme of
“Asbestos Attorney”

A wily asbestos attorney
got a job as an ER intern. He
knew a new client
would prove most compliant,
anesthetized there on the gurney.

    Your limerick’s made me a fan, /
    Enamored am I of your plan. /
    But something’s awry /
    And making me cry, /
    “intern he! It just doesn’t scan.”

    Dear Barry (you eagle-eyed reader!):
    To assuage your concerns about meter,
    just say “inTERNhe”
    (one word–like “attorney”).
    It scans! (Does that make me a cheater?)

    I already posted this on Brad DeLong’s blog. It’s not very funny, but the rhymes work, and it’s probably pretty good on ad words with the place references:
    A wily asbestos attorney /
    Quit his humble abode in Glen Burnie /
    When Mesothelioma /
    Bought a house in Sonoma /
    And a Gulfstream G5 for the journey.
