“ Pills, Pills, Pills “
(For Whatever Ails Ya’)

A pill for this - A pill for that
More types of pills - Than types of hat
You toss and turn? - Can’t get to sleep?
Take two of these - Will soon count sheep

So many ads - Cannot keep track
For sniffling colds - Or aching back
Now hooked on cigs? - Just chew this gum
You’re all stressed out? - Take these, feel numb

For all the men - Can’t get it up?
Try some of these - Act like a ‘pup’
Be careful, though - If lasts, four hours
Get to thy doc! - Take cold showers!

Companies say, - “Take OUR great meds”
No more heartburn - Or throbbing heads
Side effects may - Lay you out flat
Not to worry - Have pills for that!

Cannot afford? - Dear Ma and Pa
Point compass north - Oh, Canada!
Told, “Is not safe!” - Yet, have not seen
One, dead Canuck - (A big smokescreen)

Many recalls - In last few years
Causes people - To have great fears
New studies go - Through F.D.A.
Tested ‘rodents’ - Wrong D.N.A.?

I must now go - (Time for my pills)
One makes me hot - One gives me chills
I sure do hope - They will soon stock
Magical pill - For writers block

Prozac-ically yours,
