Best Pills Poems

My personal physician
says I’m the picture of perfect health
Then he hands me the pharmaceutic scripts
Dr. Miyagi
makes me wonder sometimes,
if he’s a paid health insurance company shill
Seeing how there’s fifty bottles of medicine 
on my monthly HMO bill
Metformin
Deseryl
Glyburide
Lisinopril
Every day the bottles say,
I gotta take fifty pills
But...

Holding this hand full of pills.
It’s a power of wills
I could end it all.
It’s my call.
No more pain.
No more memories of where it came.

Hand full of pills
Love only kills!
wasted away inside.
save me from what I hide.
No one really sees me.
No one really knows me.

Hand full...

She took a pill
Okay, maybe it was three
or four, or five
She took them all
The magic pills
She took one to make her visible
So she would be noticed
She took one to make her sing
So she would be heard
She took one to make her beautiful
So she would be...

Pills, Pills, Pills
For all my aches and all my ills.
Many shapes, and lots of sizes
Can fight any sickness that arises.

Some are big, and some are small.
It does not matter I take them all.
Colours also help me know
Which one makes my illness go.

The one that’s large...

Pills, pills, marvellous pills
They cure everything, except manage our bills
Pills for depression
Pills for obsession
Too bad their ain't one for being over the hill

Seems each time I visit my doc he recommends more pills for my health!

I'm not sure they're effective but this I know, they're depletin' my wealth!

And with all the side effects, I'm really concerned about my early doom!

"He expired from excessive medications!" might aptly be...

Oh, you beautiful little pill,
how will you relieve my ill?
With naked fairies to amuse my eyes
or aided money to fill my bills?

Oh, but wait! Before I do anything,
let's first try out the pill.
One will do for a little swing
and there goes the funny thrill....

I Swallowed,

My Bitterness,

Down With Pride, 

If I Said,

"It Tasted Great,"

I Would Have Lied, 

Hate Got Stuck,

In My Throat,

Next,

To Regrets,

I Drank Last Night, 

None Of These Pills,

Were Good For Me, 

I Had To Play,

Referee, 

"Foul Play,"

Was My Call,

As My Tongue,

Began To Loll,

With Much Distaste,

I Swallowed,

It All.

Now when I was a young man 
I didn’t need pills everything worked
I wasn’t a fan 

But now that I'm old 
I need pills everyday 
One to lower my blood pressure 
Another to keep the cholesterol away 

Now I have a new one 
To keep...

With no arms and legs, pill escapes are hard
They all look the same inside their bottles 
Like prisoners shaved bald at executions                       
Like...

Once a man named Bill,
Was eating unnecessary pills.
But what he didn't know was,
He was standing in a pool of sauce.
So......., cheers to the magic pills!...

Wrinkles and gray hair
get me in a rage
and I say to myself,
“Why don't you act your age!"

My poor aching feet
remind me to wear sensible shoes
but these black stilettos
take away the blues.
.
I wear glasses to see 
but they're tinted green
and make me look 
cool and mean.

I...

If you're a celebrity
For medications come to me
I have them all, come see, come see
I'm the devil in disguise

If you run out, I'll give you more
I'll bring your pills right to your door
I'm the devil in disguise

Dr. Robert, Feelgood too
Names...
