    Pills

     When did we start to think 
    That for every ill there is a pill?
    Have a chill take a pill
    Want a thrill take a pill
    Can't climb the hill take a pill
    Can't bare the drill take a pill
    For diarrhea,pyorrhea,or gonorrhea
    Take a pill
    Pills have become like magic
    Especially when we see life as tragic
    If you are too fat and exercise would fit the bill
    Why work so hard, just take a pill
    Although pills often have a checkered history
    And whether they all work is still a mystery
    There is one place where pills are always fine
    When it comes to the drug company's 
    Bottom line

    As someone who is stuck having to ingest a practical pharmacy every morning, I have to say this gave me a much needed laugh. I know that I for one am ensuring the drug companies have their best year yet! (at my expense) Must go now, time for my meds...
