What a Pill

The Trazadone made me feel alone,

the Thorazine clouded my scene.

The Effexor mad me hate to hex her,

but the Xanax acted to quell my panics.

 

 

(Ok, the meter isn’t exactly perfect, but it was a first stab at rhyming pharmaceuticals with real results. BTW, do not attempt this if you are not a copywriter. There is no reason to do so.)

  1. Effexor to fix her,
    Wellbutrin to let in,
    Klonopin the King Pin
    Paxil can kill.

    Nine years of that. Then it got bad.

    Tamoxifen to stop the spin
    Of tumor cells gone wild
    Zoladex tries to suppress
    Her moans from hormones gone
    Zometa to retard the spread
    Of metastases to her head

    One year of that. It isn't working.

    Femara. I'll star 'ya if you work.
