It's All In the Name

The silly names for medicine! It’s just a lot of rot While Percoset is meant for pain, Sounds like a coffee pot Latuda’s not a ladies name It regulates your mood It sounds as though that it should help A stuck-up attitude! With Zoloft, you can calm your nerves And that is no disgrace But I just think it sounds more like A man from outer space And next we come to Celebrex It can reduce your swelling But better yet, a party name to Warm your brand new dwelling But sometimes, they are just mixed-up And not to be a diva But don’t you think Viagra Would be better named Boniva!
