The Side Effects of Bitterness
Bitterness is a pill,
Too easy to swallow,
But hard to digest,
Giving those who swallow it,
Side effects that can last a lifetime.
These include reoccurring bouts of verbal diarrhoea,
Frequent headaches from dwelling on past events,
Difficulty in forming relationships with other than fellow pill takers,
Heightened gullibility,
Low self-esteem,
Easily led to do criminal acts,
Poor overall heath,
With no chance of a letter from the queen.
