There once was a man who slept in a bed
And from the nurse, he had to be fed
He couldn't move well
He had a bad smell
And the poor old guy just wished he was dead.

The author's comments:
I wrote this limerick because in my Creative Writing class we were writing limericks and this was one that I particularly liked.
