JUMPING THRU HOOPS

they tell me
that 
of course they do not doubt
the 
validity
of my
reasons for sickness
and
that
i
am 
not suspected of skiving oh no
but
that i should think
about 
how 
if 
everyone had my sick record
then the hospital could hardly run

could 
it?

anyway
heres
a 
verbal warning
for
your
permanent file
and
the right to appeal 
inside
21 days

now if you'd like
to
wait
outside
we'll
give you a copy
of
this
meeting
on a compact cassette tape
