Join the party!

 3) Here's a list of links to "BRIEF SAGAS", (poems consisting of three or more limerick verses) on medical/dental topics  that can be found on our companion blog "Daily Illustrated Nonsense". These entities are  also enumerated with the shorter limerick poems (one or two stanzas), tabulated in the first section of this summary. 

 As all limerick verses can be readily arranged to be sung (to several different melodies), readers have the option to consider them as poems (links to "Daily Illustrated Nonsense" are provided here), or as accompanied song-lyrics (follow the further links with each individual entry).
