Relaxants 

Someone was coming to look at my house,
it is for sale, they should be here at three.
Not being used to people I took 5 milligram 
Valium… they didn´t arrive at three, I took
a pill of ten milligram.

Now I was totally relaxed, made coffee and 
asked myself why should have to wait.
for people who can´t keep time. I felt a bit 
drowsy and fell asleep, heard knocking on 
my door but didn´t bother to open.

Spiders web hang from the beams and my 
dog who has been dead for ten years still is
on a carpet in the hall. Would be buyers will
only come  in to complain, who needs that.

Stay away from the pills. Just withdrew from oxycodone. It was great while it lasted.

Dear Kathy, I do, but sometimes I have to take a 5 ml valium, I have a phobia about speaking in public, the valium helps and it is better than reading poetry when pissed as I did in the old day.
