Fentanyl Fate

None too bright Phil took
a big mysterious pill
and now he is dead!

There's no coming back from that as you point out. Someone must be making plenty of money from it. It's a little complicated since the gangs involved are using weapons that we manufacture here. Really a shame. Wouldn't be something if we could have a population where no one was interested in taking illegal drugs? I wonder how we get there. Smiles!!

It's a very unfortunate scourge affecting so many! I agree, non use would be the ideal situation! Thanks Duke!

This should be made into a limerick. change Phil to Fred and rhyme it with dead and throw in a few extra lines. Let me think; there once was a big fool named Fred / he listened to nothing I said. / A mysterious pill / he took for a thrill/ on the toilet he ended up dead. Sorry, it was just too fun to pass up

Thank you Andrea, of course I wrote it as a senryu, but I pass to you creative license to go with your limerick, I think its very clever and really funny!!
