THIS IS A NURSING HOME!!!

“Rehab” where he was plunked,
Next morning realization sunk…
Rehab meant nursing,
A home converting
Him into a man with spunk.
–
He joined a familiar crowd
Singing old songs aloud…
Couldn’t tempo keep,
Kept falling asleep–
Went back to his bed duly kowed.
–
The population there were–
He didn’t mean any slur–
mostly infirm,
It made him squirm
Am I really one of THEM…no Sir!
–
Immediately conscience-struck,
He wanted to pass the buck…
Responsible, yes,
For medical redress
He did to himself—he’s stuck.
–
For crippled ones he cared,
Not expecting he’d be here…
Ego crushed,
His Rehab rushed
For his own self he still didn’t care?
