Xenophobic X-Rays (RB)

I broke my left arm

Falling off the monkey bars

That stuff hurt so bad

We rushed to the doctor

The pain was so excruciating

I couldn't wait for help

The doctor finally came in

But she had an attitude

She didn't understand my mom

Her accent is super heavy

Being from a foreign country

The doctor was being xenophobic

To my mom really bad

But I didn't have time

Can't argue, I need X-rays

My arm is getting worse

We got every thing situated

But I scolded the doctor

I even cussed her out

Shouldn't treat Mom that way
