Can't shake this disease

Can't shake this disease

Need to see you doc
I've got a spot
And it's been itching a lot.
Got through to reception
All I got was rejection.
Need an injection
Of physician affection.

Pulled my own tooth out.
No dentists about.
It had got infected
Again got rejected.
Yanked it out today
The root and the decay.

Really need some ointment
But there are no appointments.
Just pain and disappointment.
Seems you've got to be in the loop
Or extremely ill,
To get a prescription
For a pill.

Need a good dosage
Of a diagnoses,
Someone to look after my brains -
My veins!
Feeling the strain
And the remains
Of afterpains.

Tried to contact GP
Now well over sixty
Pressed many phone keys.
While feeling so crappy
And there's no guarantee
Anyone will see me.

There is an outbreak
NHS in a state.
Now it's one big bellyache
Feeling so much unease
Can't shake this disease.
Need some antibiotics,
Please.

Devil's incarnate

 Devil's incarnate


It's only you
That can wipe away
My sunny disposition
I wear everyday
I want to leave
But always stay
And even after
You hit my arm today
I look after your hygiene
On a Thursday and Monday
But with your procrastination
We make no headway
You no longer upset me
Whatever you say
'Thick as two planks'
Or calling me gay
You shout and scream at me
You think I lead you astray
And wish you'd keep your disgusting words
At bay
The behaviour you display
Causes so much dismay
You are the devil's incarnate
Anyway
You contort your face
As I wash your hair of grey
I'm not assisting you
I help your partner
Who helps you in every way
You are a lucky woman
Who gets full attention each day
Your psyche and demeaner
Are completely frayed
Thank goodness I leave before midday
It's really not ok
That from you I need a holiday
