It's Supposed To Make - Me - Mel - Low

So they've upped my medication From 10 mg to 20 mg It's the stuff that's supposed to make... me... mel... low I almos... uh... almo... almost nodded... off... ff! Don't think it's strong enough yet... thhh...ough! Hopefully I'll soon start writing about fairies and pretty flowers Instead of demons and evil monsters Some of my best friends are fairies Hang on... the ones with wings like Tinker Bell We go skipping through the meadow with gay abandon Now there you go misunderstanding me again Well, getting back to my medication Sometimes it makes me so mellow I tend to try to stuff mashed potatoes in my ear hole Not a good idea... especially in a restaurant Mothers grab their wee kiddies Cover their eyes while quickly moving to a different table I mean no harm... I love everybody In the whole great big entire world © Jack Ellison 2013

try 15 mg. Jack. I guess we'll have to put a * by this poem. It will be the first in the 20 mg group. I really did enjoy the humor of this one, my friend..... Robert.

Ahhh... I have a bad enough imagination as it is... After my surgeries were over (& before) I don't take the pain killers and relaxacons... They could make life very groovy... But pain doesn't bother me as much as losing a part of my life to the meds... I really loved your poem! It was great! You're one of the most talented people I know! Dragon doesn't understand... He's never had any joy juice... He's bad enough as it is... Tho it would be funny watching him try to tip toe thru the tulips...
