"Poetic Justice" joke

A man suffering from severe constipation went to consult a doctor. The doctor prescribed a laxative. It did not work. When the man turned up again the next day to complain of the medicine's ineffectiveness, the doctor prescribed a strong purgative. It had no effect either and the man turned up for something more effective. "What do you do for a living?" asked the doctor.
"I am a poet. I write Punjabi poetry," replied the man.
"Your trouble is not constipation," said the doctor, "there is nothing in your stomach to be evacuated. Take these ten rupees and get something to eat."
