Old man yesterday had a choice
Buy medicine or food without a voice
Cure the ills or make a meal
Picking only one is an ordeal
If you don’t have to choose, rejoice!

Pulls at the heartstrings!!! Reminded me of a true story. They only could afford the pain medicine and not the antibiotics that would have saved them. Heartbreaking!
Great limerick on an unfortunately too real social issue. Very well done.

All too common a choice these days. It’s as though we’ve gone back in time. You captured this perfectly. Well done! 💕🙂
This is a wonderful limerick that highlights the difficult choices faced by those in need, and reminds us to be grateful for the abundance in our own lives.👌💗💗💗
So sad this is a reality for so many 😢 Well done!
Too many people are forced to make this choice. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
