Premium Member World So Dope It Calls Ya Mine

Digest our words. Oh, syllable counter.
Pseudo feelings, sling bot ropes in the fein.
Hand over fist deals over the counter.

Doctor's Orders

feeling feverish and flush
please flush the toilet again

scribbled scribe prescriptions
over the counter i don't want 

to bend again so just send
me back to bed for the rest

of my life as long as my
remedy sleeps with me

Safe Health

Over the counter (OTC) refers to a class of drug or item that can be acquired from a healthcare provider without a prescription. Painkillers, cough and cold medications, allergy medications, topical treatments for skin disorders, and other items are frequently sold in retail stores, pharmacies, and online.

The Pharmacy Question

She said at the pharmacy counter
My husbands Viagra needs renewed
She asked the man if they sold it there 
He told her that they certainly do

She asked if he had ever used it himself
He told her he had and was a big fan
She asked,"Can you get it over the counter?" 
 He said, "If I take a lot I probably can!"

Premium Member Animosity

Am I a person or just the keys?
Nothing more than convenience
is what it seems to be;
My patience vanishes with disrespect;
Order over the counter pills. Settle down! 
Seems like less than subtle noxious 
irritating because I still smell it;
Tousled words to try and hide the meaning
you didn’t straighten out so I split.

Premium Member Taking a Tums

ah-choo
I take a Benadryl
could use a pick me up
take a caffeine pill

uh-oh
acid reflux
because I ate those jalapeno peppers
I cannot sleep now

take a Tums because I could not find the Pepto Bismal
and down a Tylenol PM

I am no longer living any semblance of a natural schedule
living my life dictated by over-the-counter medications

Premium Member How Odd

Partnering with death, poverty
Of hunger and homelessness
Seek the equality of all—Vowing 
Never to discriminate;

But their perpetrators
Continue to control the odds
Favoring a hued majority;

A hued majority remaining
A minority concern as their opioid
Conditions are not prescribed—
Just over the counter cash addictions;

So odd be the ways of mercy and equanimity
When it comes to the hued like you and me;
How odd.

Premium Member cocaine tooth ache drops please

your great-grandmother’s toothache was easily fixed
with lovely cocaine tooth drops, which now are probably nixed.
a predecessor to Novocain, a practice back in the day
many children had to have it, it took pain away

Marvelously fast-acting cocaine tooth drops cost a whole fifteen cents
You could get them over the counter sold by druggist McVents
It might sound odd now, but it was a common practice in 1818.
And your gums felt great afterwards, truly tingly and clean.
