Big Pharma's Side Effects

I heard that Big Pharma's got
so much money in their greedy little hands,
that they are buying up hugh chunks 
of property across the land,
one of them in particular,
a popular honeymoon tourist attraction,
located on the NY Canadian border,
where honeymooners like to gather,
the men there getting hooked
on a little blue pill,
which they take on their honeymoon,
when they feel the gumption to,
side effects being, high blood pressure,
headaches, stomach pain, diarrhea,
nausea and looking like an awry railroad
crossing malfunction,
they take it nonetheless,
hoping and praying for the best,
which is what Big Pharma wanted all along,
so they now changed the tourist attraction name,
on behalf of one of their best sellers,
going from Niagra to Viagra Falls
thanks to all the guinea pig fellas!

Dear Cheryl, this is a funny one indeed. Maybe they should add a picture of a wishing well on the package as well. Loved this tongue in cheek poem! Betty

Oh no. Does anyone still go to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon?
