Jenny Linsel Poet Rhyme

Pills For All Ills

Pills for all ills

Here are my bottles filled with pills
Which doctors claim can cure all ills
Amoxicillin for ear, nose and throat
They've never worked for me 
So they don't get my vote

Mirtazapine to keep me calm 
Works better than a herbal balm
Ramipril for high blood pressure
Taken each morning in five milligram measure

Cod Liver Oil capsules to loosen up limbs
It's a thing of the past me going to gym's
Codeine for muscle pain taken each night
Restless Leg Syndrome, a terrible plight

Remembering to take them all is a constant battle
If I take anymore I will surely rattle

Maurice Rigoler January 12, 2017 at 1:25 PM Haha! I feel for you, if this is nonfiction. I take no pills at all except an occasional vitaman C, and I'm almost 80! Must be family genes? I have a poem similar to yours but I didn't name any specific pills. Enjoyed. Keep writing. Best to you. / M
