Now There's a Cure

A few weeks back, when I took off my shoe I peeled off my sock, and I saw something new I went to the Doctor and what do you know I had a little fungus on my right big toe So he handed me some pills, then sent me on my way And said "You'll be fine, if you just take one a day" Well, about a week later, my foot was looking well But I notice that those pills I took, made my left knee kinda swell So back to the doc's, and he said " That's OK, Take a few of these capsules, each and every day" So I took all the pills, Yes,every last one Then I look at my knee, and I was glad that it was done When I woke up the next morning, I said "what the heck" The pain in my hip, must be a dammed side-affect The Doctor said to me "That's common in this case Just, take two of theses and the pain won't leave a trace" OH wow, what a wallop, they made me feel like I could fly But then my stomach got upset and I thought I would die Well, I drove back to the Doctor and told him how I felt So, he gave me a prescription, that he thought would really help When, I popped the purple pill, I felt my stomach pain subside But my nose started running and I got real blurry-eyed He said "I can treat this, but there's one thing you should know The side-affect, of 'This pill', may cause a fungus on your toe"

Hello Jerry!! You never fail to disappoint my good friend. This one is quite funny. I think your poem here will come to mind again, if I ever have a new foot fungus problem. (I guess for foot fungus problems can be excluded -- HA HA!!) A Purple Pill -- Huh?? I like this . . . . A "7" too!! Best Wishes, Gary
