Bait and Switch
John G. Young, M.D.
There was a sale
at Rt. 436 and Red Bug Road
but it was more
and less than
we bargained for
what we bought
was not what we sought,
and we got was not,
but a ticket to torture
and time on the rack,
so we went back to
another a sale
at Halifax Hospital,
two surgeons for the price
of one failed fusion
and more pain and disbelief,
so we went again
to see the man
at Florida South to get
refused again.
We got screwed
in the neck and
lost in the process,
and could not walk,
so we went to another sale
at West Volusia Memorial
to exchange our pain
for the hope to walk again.
but it was clear
we were screwed
when again he said
he would cut us down
to more than we bargained for.
