One thing on top of another!
A lady I know had a boil on her toe
and on that she had a big pimple.
The doctor tried hard to squeeze it dry
But failed, with pain it's not that simple.
Mrs. Bottomley saw it and gave it some thought
The pimple was now larger than life.
She called on all her experience
Then cut off the boil with a knife.
In one foul swoop the lady was joyous
Three problems were cured she found.
For gone were her boil and her pimple,
and she'd also lost weight by the pound.
Notes by the author
I just realised one day that you never get a pimple on top of a boil, and it led to this poem. Mrs. Bottomley was health minister of some sort.
