the doctor said

 

 

I went to the doctor.

The doctor said:

Without healthcare you're as good as dead.

Don't come back to bother me

Unless you can pay a hefty fee.

 

I went to the healthcare.

The healthcare sneered:

For your type we are not geared.

Get a job that covers you

When you turn all black and blue.

 

I went to my bossman.

The bossman yelped:

Sorry pal, it can't be helped.

Coverage has gone sky-high.

See your congressman and cry.

 

I went to the congress.

The congress sighed:

Healthcare is an ebbing tide.

No one wants to foot the bill.

See the Prez if you are ill.

 

I went to the Big Cheese.

The Big Cheese says:

Even though I may be Prez

We have got to fight a war –

See a priest if you are poor.

 

I went to the priestman.

The priestman prayed:

Lord, heal this sinner who has strayed!

Give him food and modest shelter.

His story is some heart-melter.

 

I went to the river.

The river purred:

Jump on in and you'll be cured.

Once you're in my cold embrace

No more problems will you face.

 

I went to the devil.

The devil laughed:

My dear sir, you got the shaft.

Down here healthcare is quite free.

But your pain lasts eternally.
