Short Opioids Poems

Trump's followers act like androids
Hate fills them with his opioids
This does us chagrin
We must quickly bring in 
A flotilla of Sigmund Freuds...

A Florida man bought a stool.
The seat? A bit hard on the jewels…
Now he takes pills to soften,
and he sits there less often;
this Florida man is no fool!

Actual headline: "Florida Man Thought He Stole Opioids, Got Laxatives Instead"
Obviously, a stretch here... :-)...

Sisyphus pushes his rock up hill
While Atlas bears his load.
Damned by the ire of capricious gods,
Forced down a toilsome road.

And so it is with the gods of thrill
Who trap and hold you fast
With opioids and images,
Perniciously unsurpassed!

Beware the promise of wealth or skill
Contained in a bottle brown.
Hold to the rod of simple truth
Lest you be taken down!

I found a sphinx in my backyard
And a manatee turned up dead
I raised a flag, all went to one knee
A hissing package fell on my head!

I was harassed by a baby squirrel
My turkey got doubled up tariff
DNA linked me to a cold case crime
Now I have to talk to the sheriff!

A child prodigy gets to stay
I lost at chess, so now I'm gone
My pregnant wife's hooked on opioids
My life is a current news spawn!...

Gleaming gadgets galore
Aquarius is speaking a new lore

Drive-thru getting longer
Hunger pains growing stronger

Pleasurable engagements and easing pain on fleek
Mindless stimuli and opioids we seek

Civil unrest amid quarantine
Masks coming off, no buffers between

Loud is getting louder
Apathy growing dour

Watermelons without seeds in abundance
DNA heisting and genetic gold cumbrance 

My vision is crystal clear 
2020 a year of fear...
