Troubled Stomach

Troubled stomach he carries Itching, aching and scratching On wheel chair he goes to doctor Weeping gnashing teeth, worried With stomach pain, stammering lips Big baby is recommended for surgery In the stomach were foreign bodies; Taxes, bills, wages, bribes, donations Aborted project money and loans And the doctor advised him earnestly; “These have caused ulcers and aches Don’t eat these things again, big baby Never will you survive if you disobey Second operation you must avoid Tears of the would-be beneficiaries, have penetrated your stomach.”
