A Good Quality Plessor

[Stephen Whiteside]

Here's another poem with a word in it that I've been meaning to base a poem on for many years. A 'plessor' is the technical word for a tendon hammer.

A Good Quality Plessor

Stephen Whiteside 13.10.2011

You're destined to lag as a guesser
Without a good quality plessor.
You can't do a neuro exam,
Or pick a disc prolapse from jam.

You need one that's bouncy and long,
A rubberised tip that is strong;
Flexible, balanced and light,
One that's constructed just right.

Goitre or anxiety?
Give a firm tap at each knee.
Be you humble GP or professor,
You need a good quality plessor!

[Maureen K Clifford]

one needs a thesaurus I see
or medical dictionary
to keep up with Stephen who living and breathing
comes out with terminology
that no doubt a Doctor is using
his patients constantly amusing
when they’ve finished barfing –ROTFL

Sorry Stephen the devil made me do it

[Bob Pacey]

Great that you did the bit of preamble Steve otherwise I could have been mistaken ?

Take the second verse on its own could be any thing.
