BOB and the cure

BOB thinks that -

The last disease ever “cured” -

Was polio -

And that -

If a vaccine hadn’t been discovered -

In the 1950’s -

It probably would not be discovered today.

It would not stand a chance -

Against the drug companies -

Who have no incentive -

Whatsoever -

To find a “cure” -

For anything -

When they can -

Make so much $$$ -

Selling you a drug -

That you have to take -

Every day -

For the rest of your life -

To “manage” your disease -

Whatever it is - ;))

Anybody remember -

Jerry Lewis -

And his -

Labor Day Telethons -

For Muscular Dystrophy?

Jerry’s Kids?

Well, Labor Day is coming up -

And they are doing it again.

For over 40 years -

That man raised BILLIONS of $$$ -

For Muscular Dystrophy -

Still no “cure” -

So tell me -

Exactly how much $$$ -

Do they need??



But then again - it’s probably just me.
