Dumpster Fire Pharma

Sanity meted in batches
With healthcare served up in patches
It’s a dumpster dive
Just staying alive
To rely on raccoons playing with matches

You’re still unmatched as ever Super Mo, in succinct powerhouse poetry, raccoons have much better reason for dumpster diving than big pharma does for setting the world on fire in the worse possible sense, congrats on a brilliant POTD, cheers David

Maureen, you've got me thinking about survival and our quality of life. Navigating health concerns is definitely like a dumpster fire for many souls. Even insurance doesn't guarantee decent treatment. Then again, there are so many with mental illness and difficulty navigating survival. Is the help reduced to the intelligence of rodents? It definitely seems so these days. Smiles!!

I can’t even imagine what it’s like in the states without universal healthcare. The entire pharma system of profit over prevention, how did we get it so wrong. Oh wait… xomo

Maureen congratulations on receiving this High Honor of POTD. It was nice to know that it was you who received it. Enjoy the rest of your day...

You're SO CLEVER & CUTE Maureen Mcgreavy. Congratulations on POTD! "Although without Dr Fauci we’d be dead__ Give me some Dr Martens instead__ Glad he’s been pardoned__ Natures herbs in my garden__ Legalize drugs! Pot patches mind-your head!" ha. Enjoy!

lemme know where & when, I traded my Doc Martens for Steel x

Thank you lovely! I wholeheartedly agree about Fauci, WHO and big pharma two very separate things… alas an ounce of prevention doesn’t make any one rich. I’m all about food is medicine, and the pot is legal here (tho I’ve quit- too anxious) ;), HUGS!

There is always a smile crossing my face when I see a limerick getting recognition for a POTD! It's like I feel watching 11 clowns exiting a clown-car. Congratulations. Best - Ken

I haven’t written many limericks but the raccoons made me do it. Thank you Ken! xomo

My dog believes they exist for feasting, he’s had a taste, of at least two since he’s been mine. We do regular perimeter checks every night looking for would be snacks lol

'To rely on raccoons playing with matches' how well written! we are living by them too. +FAV loved your limerick dear poet. Happy writing.

I agree. some are playing with matches (nuclear weapons) as unmindful and unaware as the ever playful raccoons. No insult intended dear poet. humans are matchless in avarice.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

Thank you! While I don’t want to insult raccoons by comparing them to humans, their little hands and masked faces and dumpster diving predilections captured my muse. ;), Cheers! xomo
