Payoff
If you get injured, what’s the price
To help assuage your pain?
Do lawyers factor in how much
You whimper or complain?
Of course there are the doctor bills
And days you couldn’t work
Or drive or shop or do the chores
You’d never think to shirk.
They even take into account,
With formulas complex,
What’s owed to someone if
An injured spouse cannot have sex.
No matter what the payoff is,
I’m sure each wounded soul
Would gladly give up all that cash
To once again be whole.
