Retirement Limericks for Your Physician just in case your doctor is retiring and you want to say something to annoy him. Here at Molly's Virtual Pub, we have special insight into this peculiar situation.
So you've hung up your scalpel for good?
In a couple of years, if you could
You'll go looking again
For your dear, long lost friend
Unless you now groove carving wood?
A doctor's retirement marks the sudden deacceleration from an 80 hour a week passion to an abrupt, full stop. The carnage isn't pretty. You will find the newly retired physician reading every article in the newspaper to his spouse in the morning, asking her to fetch this file or that one (just like in the old days when the secretary did it), and, for the FIRST time in his life, choosing COLORS for home decor!!! Arrrgghh!
Surely you have a hobby, of course?
Because surgery, your tour-de-force
Will be closed to you now
Soon you're wondering how
You could possibly stand this divorce?
When you once gave an order, they jumped
No matter the case, your will trumped
With your surgical team.
So like God did you seem
When a spouse just ignores you, you're stumped.
Is it off to some island for you?
And you're counting your pension is due?
We hope that is enough
The economy's rough
Think about a consulting job, too.
Tell me what will consume all your time
Since you've switched to this new paradigm
Where you've nothing to do
But direct your wife to
Keep the house free of dirt, germs, and grime?
