Rx for Halitosis

     I underwent osmosis
        to get rid of halitosis

    Developed a psychosis
        frightening neurosis

    Signed up for group-hypnosis
        just got a diagnosis 

     Downing meds with garlic juice
        made my breath atrocious

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 9/6/2025 6:04:00 AM hilarious...and what a vicious cycle medications can be...speaks volumes about the cure is sometimes worse than the illness. sigh Login to Reply

Joe Dimino Date: 9/5/2025 6:26:00 PM The cure as bad as the illness. Very witty my friend. And true. The less we have to deal with doctors, the better. If I don't feel well, doctors are great at diagnosis, even if halitosis, then I go the route of homeopathy for self treatment when at all possible. Login to Reply

CayCay Jennings Date: 9/5/2025 3:29:00 AM Oh, my gosh, Dean Martin celebrity roast just came on, roasting Bob Hope with Don Rickles, Angie Dickerson, Howard Cosell, Orson Wells, John Wayne, Dick Martin, Hubert Humphrey, Rich Little, Joey Bishop, Mohammad Ali, Tony Orlando.. . Wonder why they no longer seem old. I'm sure my Dad will walk in, sit down & ask me to turn it up a hair. HOW COOL. So, where am I? ~~~ I read your witty stinky poem, and I breathed laughter all over it! You so funny ... CayCay Login to Reply Chris Conn Date: 9/5/2025 4:57:00 AM Good grief; Don’t encourage him. ; )
