Medical Mystery Tour

Told my sister
"let me explain Medicare"
and then proceeded
with a series of
if
ands
buts
maybes
possibles
sometimes.
Pausing for breath,
realizing the futility
admitted my defeat
"There is no explaining Medicare."

Sister said
"My head is spinning"
and we both imagined
green gunk spewing
ala "The Exorcist."
Wished her luck
finding participating provider
and getting preauthorization
and what is the
ICD-9 code for
demonic possession, unspecified?
