BREAK IN CHAIN*

The diabetic ran out

Of his particular kind…

Had to punt with what was available,

And that didn’t ease his mind.

–

Figuring out a dose

Takes guesswork for sure…

Trying to do what must suffice

To avoid a hospital tour.

–

A diabetic friend

He hears is cheating badly…

Another with a death wish,

Unless turned–ends sadly!

–

Payday is today,

The patient can get his swag…

He has his insulin

And his problems are in the bag.
