The silly names for medicine!
It’s just a lot of rot
While Percoset is meant for pain,
Sounds like a coffee pot
Latuda’s not a ladies name
It regulates your mood
It sounds as though that it should help
A stuck-up attitude!
With Zoloft, you can calm your nerves
And that is no disgrace
But I just think it sounds more like
A man from outer space
And next we come to Celebrex
It can reduce your swelling
But better yet, a party name to
Warm your brand new dwelling
But sometimes, they are just mixed-up
And not to be a diva
But don’t you think Viagra
Would be better named Boniva!
