"Lymie Blues"
To the tune of "On Top
of Old Smokey"
I'm feeling so dizzy
My headache's so strong
My body is aching
Please tell me what's
wrong
Got pains in my muscles
And I'm numb all around
So I went to my doctor
And here's what he found
He says it could be Lupus
Or maybe MS
Do you know what he settles
on?
I bet you can guess
He says I need counseling
That I'm going berserk
But I don't believe that
I just think he's a jerk!
I see lots of doctors
And get sicker with time
Until I find out that
I really have Lyme!
So twenty-eight days
pass
Of life on IV
And if I'm not well yet
Then I must be crazy!
But we are still sick
now
And it's hard to get
well
Those spirochetes are
clever
Or couldn't you tell?
So I chat with my "lymies"
And stay on my drugs
I just keep on fighting
And stay away from those
BUGS!

ODE TO AN HMO
