Short Advil Poems

there was a young man from Seville
whose wife's voice was chillingly shrill
	he said please shut up
	he’d more than enough
sending him looking for advil!

Pain kills
I wish I could take Advil.
Your lips I still feel.
My heart is broken
Your gone,is this a dream or is This real.
We had plans, what's the deal.
I'm gonna love you better than he will.
I'm gonna love you until.
Your name on my heart start to peal.
I got it tat because I thought this was for real-Mario Perez...

My headache is a sprinter
And my Advil likes to trot,
But I'm a desperate sucker
So I give it one more shot.

The finish line approaches,
As I am well aware.
I'd hoped for a conclusion
Like the tortoise and the hare.

Alas, though, it's the headache
That has got the Advil beat
And I will chalk it up to yet
Another sad defeat....

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Twelve lotus pinching,
Eleven surgical gauzes,
Ten boxes of advil,
Nine cheating photos,
Eight tissue rolls,
Seven colorful beehives,
Six facebook dislikes
Five red sea snakes,
Four French novels
Three black roses
Two sleeping pills
And a pink round coffin.

Tortures the nerve constantly 
Ongoing severe painful throb
Only abstraction is the cure
This pain is worse than labor pain
Horrendous sharp electric shocks,
And advil is just a temporary fix
Can't sleep at all
Hurt all night long
Eating food is not an option

yup two twenty two's
used to take four at one time
next came tylenol

then x y and z
from pharmacies deepest seas
thought i'd tried 'em all

now the cure is advil
in the pocket or aleeve
in my wallets sleeve

headaches just a pain
sometimes yes they're overboard
but sanity gains

through long years that teach
life's like that and i've wondered
"write home!....about what?"

Little hammers tapping
In the space behind my eyes
Warn me that there’s more to come
As pain intensifies.

It isn’t quite a migraine – 
Likely it’s induced by stress – 
Yet that knowledge gives no comfort
Nor does it hurt any less.

Advil often takes the edge off
By providing quick relief;
There are times, though, such a respite’s 
Non-existent or too brief.

Headaches all my life have plagued me
So I know that it will fade,
But ‘til then there’s no escaping
All those hammers on parade....

My headache was a killer;
I was overdue for lunch.
Two hours at the iPhone store
Had wearied me a bunch.

The remedy was simple, though 
(Much more so than the phone) – 
Two Advil with some water
And a Shake Shack custard cone.

The flavor was a favorite
And the wait was not too long.
In just a flash I felt that
Not a thing at all was wrong.

So here is my prescription
When a headache makes you groan – 
Take some Advil for your head
And for your soul, an ice cream cone!...
