What bill is this that comes payment due,
Not just one, but quite a few,
To save a life is a priceless deed
Though it causes your bank to bleed.

Whoa, Whoa, oh whoa is me
My life slides into poverty,
I work a life for a honest pay
And then it’s gone in a single day.

What fee is this from an unknown  place,
Added on with lack of grace,
Aspirin cost ten buck a pill,
It cost too much to become so ill.

Whoa, Whoa, oh whoa is me
My life slides into poverty,
I work a life for a honest pay
And then it’s gone in a single day.

What life is this now left to fend
Which brings me to my money’s end,
All savings gone away to bills
It cost too much to become so ill.
What good is health they tried to give
If afterwards there is no funds to live
What need is there for the best of care
If it leaves you in the grasp of despair.

Whoa, Whoa, oh whoa is me
My life slides into poverty,
I work a life for a honest pay
And then it’s gone in a single day.

Ah yes, we're left afloat
in a hole-burdened boat...

Well done, Professor. I've
missed your poetry, but you
have not lost your beat.

Thank you Sunshine
I was just about to change it
Whoa to Woe, not sure people would notice the misuse of the word.
