LIMERICK by ANONYMOUS

First Line: A RHEUMATIC OLD MAN OF WHITE PLAINS
Last Line: THAT'S ALL HE GETS FOR HIS PAINS
Subject(s): MEDICINE; "DRUGS, PRESCRIPTION;"

A rheumatic old man of White Plains,
Who will never stay in when it rains,
Has a home full of drugs,
Kept in little brown jugs—
That's all that he gets for his pains.
