I tend to suspect the stuff we're told

About Health Care woes being down to the old;

Those who steadfastly paid their tax

While others get treated off their backs:

Alkys, druggies, and malingerers who

Install themelves in the NHS queue.

The old would rather be off their trolley,

Installed in beds bought by their lolly,

Before being placed in proper care

For those who've always paid their share.

But now it seems that there's no shame

In combining the suffering old with blame,

Hoping and praying they won't fill a bed -

Conveniently the case when a patient's dead!
