Fred Enrolls In Obamacare

Fred Enrolls in Obamacare

By Elton Camp

Fred liked what the president had to say
Enrolling in Obamacare should be okay

Because affordable insurance he needed,
To his computer Fred eagerly speeded

The government site came up right away
He thought, “Hey, this is really the way!”

“Somebody should’ve thought of this before.
I won’t have to pay high premiums anymore.”

However, before much information he found
The government site suddenly shut down

Though Fred tried again and again
There was simply no way to win

“Whoever designed this site is a bum.
It’s not accessible like Amazon.com.”

Fred finally surrendered to despair
About the insurance he didn’t care

With a sledge hammer and a frown
His computer he abruptly shut down
