Treating The System

\nA doctor who’s paid when you’re ill
\nIs certain to sell you a pill
\nNo treatment, no money,
\nHe won’t find that funny
\nCause you won’t be paying his bill.<\/p>\n
And sliding towards a “good death”
\nWith smiles as you draw you last breath
\nThose doctors will say,
\nAs you don’t have to pay,
\n“It’s a tragedy worse than Macbeth.”<\/p>\n
A doctor who’s paid when your well
\nHas a much sweeter story to tell
\nYou’re happy – he’s happy
\nA satisfied chappie
\nThe argument’s sound as a bell.<\/p>\n
Don’t pay when they’ve got it all wrong
\nGive rewards when your life is on song!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nI was talking, as one does, to a friend and moaning, as one does, about life,
\nthe universe and everything. Then, as one does, we put the world to rights.
\nAnd I condensed it into a Limerick Sonnet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
