IMMUNE – INAPPROPRIATE

Just one inappropriate word
That a member of staff may have heard
Can get you the sack
And you'll never come back,
For no-one's immune. It's absurd!

A patient who had tonsillitis
Went on to develop bronchitis.
When his memory failed,
The Grim Reaper prevailed,
And he died of acute meningitis.

Some kids just like keeping the ball;
They won't pass to teammates at all.
They only want goals,
Not tedious roles
Where the chances of scoring are small.

If your dog likes to scamper around
And scatter small toys on the ground,
Adopt a brisk tone
And throw it a bone.
It's very effective, I've found.

Americans tend to abominate
Prefixed feudal titles to nominate
Great people (like 'Sir'),
Which in Britain occur
A lot, as traditions predominate.

The ninth of a cat's alleged lives
Must be nightmarish when it arrives.
For its future is brief,
And it purrs with relief
On each further day it survives.

If you have a demanding profession,
Your work can become an obsession.
You depend on the stress,
And if it grows less
You're likely to suffer depression.
