Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

I Don'T Do Pills Well

I am on predizone or nitrachrome or some other such for my asthma kit.
Who invented asthma anyway, and why? It helps absolutely no one my friend!
A result is that I’m a drug addict this week; and I don’t like it the least little bit.
I don’t do well on predizone or Midol or Science Diet or booze of any kind.
My old boss, also my best friend in the world used to say,  “Don’t have a fit.”
“Take a pill, stay at home.” She would continue. “ We can do without your mania today.”
It took 4 sleeping pills and a hammer in my head to let me sleep 2 hours last night, 
It’s 8 a.m. and I already know my husband Joe’s idea of a good day is to stay out of sight.

Tom Cunningham April 1, 2018 at 2:41 PM Oh pills , take these, but you've also got to take those to prevent side effects rom these, its a vicious circle. Caren Krutsinger April 1, 2018 at 4:51 PM It is such a vicious circle for me. I am not a pill kind of woman!

Line Gauthier April 1, 2018 at 10:54 AM Taking pills is no fun for sure, Caren. Caren Krutsinger April 1, 2018 at 4:52 PM Not when you can't sleep, which makes some of us pretty deplorable, namely me.
