Possible Side Effects
The doc prescribed a medicine
To make my bones grow strong.
It seems they’ve lost some density
As life has rolled along.
I’ve had the pills for quite a while
But haven’t taken one,
For I’m afraid soon after,
Side effects will have begun.
I read what all the experts say
From clinics quite well-known –
The Mayo and the Cleveland,
Which report what tests have shown.
I’d be better off without the facts
These places have prepared,
For learning what can happen
Only makes me much more scared.
I’ll try some yoga and will boost
My calcium to still
Any qualms about my bones –
That seems much better than a pill.
