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.
