Don't Take If . . .

Just thank your stars you don’t push pills.
Attorneys are the ad execs.
Commercials for what cures our ills
Are nine-tenths would-be bad effects.
When through, I’m left in such a sweat
To empty out the cabinet.

Don’t take if feeling short of breath
From walking up a flight of stairs.
Use might include fatigue or death
Unless the purchaser bewares
Dependence on nicotenent,
Inhalol’s key ingredient.

Or, Get your doctor’s legal pledge,
If more than ninety-five years old,
That he/she/you will not allege
You weren’t alerted, warned, foretold
That Geriatrisex won’t work,
If pre-existing failings lurk.


Or, Wakefulness could persevere,
If sleep-aid Dexocaffidare
Produces ringing in the ear
Without your seeking instant care.
I envy Christian Scientists,
Who have no need for such assists.
