Dreamy Christmas Eve.
The mail brought a flyer.
Of our health insurer that said:
"Premiums, perceive,
They'll trot up much higher.
Coverage?
 now that's all but dead."
 
"Dry eye?
it might qualify.
But your heart?
from our part, it is gone.
You missed:
it DID pre-exist!
Had a heart at your start.
So your heart is no longer on."
 
I turned up a ruckus.
Then learned they could chuck us.
Sent the check and meant not to grouse.
Nearly went to court About
my stray aorta.
When they told me:
"Try watching 'House.'"
 
"Frail nail?
we'll maybe let sail.
But your heart?
from our part, it is gone.
Still.
if you start getting ill.
We will dart.
It's just smart.
Since our part will be drawn upon."
 
Why buy?
when they'll cry:
 "Deny!"
From some artful, flowchart-full salon.
Alas:
as mass middle class:
Mustn't start with my heart.
Or my heart will owe on and on.
