Health Insurance

Health Insurance No wealth No health Unfair. Don't care. They say Should pay!!! V.A. Did say No way Today! Pain reigns, Insane!!! Hip lame. Oh, blame Feel bad. Heart sad. I cry Won't die. Now limp. A wimp. I cry To fry No grief. Relief. To die I‘d sigh. Pill shelf Lost self. The end Please send. Alive Don't thrive. Alas I'll pass. Away Today This end A sin. Feel good? Who would? Put self On shelf- No lie. I try. Furthermore- If I was not so chicken! And if I was not so sane! The bucket I am kicking Would not remain. Balk, balk, balk, balk, balk! Cluck! cluck, cluck Chicken. (Sorry sweet and sensitive poets. I AM VENTING here. I will be OK!!! I am Just feeling sorry for myself. My hip surgery was postponed... Again!!!! Anyone else feel this way at times? Or is everyone else PERFECT!!! Now I'm really laughing...)

Never despair; Your I am, I know, you know, is an heir, Love in the end, is the only true medicare! I'll pray, God will say, and Love will pay, for a new hip, we'll say! Forgive me Dane, if this seems like insensitivity, it's not mean to be. I am quoting, in part from,( Mark 11:22-26), please agree with me and we will say together, to the mountain(HIP), from our hearts. Sincerely, Love Moses

Been there but not with a hip but spine. It hurts and when surgery works it is a relief. Keep writing. Sara

Love this wonderfully creative Lyric that says it all, Dane! So sorry they postponed your surgery! Yes, definately felt this way before, my friend! If it helps, vent away! They say laughter is the best medicine! Love and a BIG HUG, Robin
