    “no surprise” won’t be here tomorrow

    I can’t believe they made it thru till today

    The budget cuts have left them empty and hollow

    I know in time we’ll find this is no surprise

    The hospital we used to go

    What bills will come? No one knows.

    Elon musks left us high and dry

    I know in time we’ll find this is no surprise
