Trigger Warning
TV commercials are boosting a pill.
Nothing about it is run-of-the-mill.
Singers with gusto declare that it’s swell.
“Small, but it has a big story to tell.”
Gyrating dancers contribute their praise,
While in the background an orchestra plays.
Are there pill side effects? Well, just a few:
Runny nose, coughing, persistent “ker-choo,”
Blood pressure readings with both lows and highs,
Weight gain, insomnia, watery eyes,
Toothache, receding gums, unpleasant breath,
Plus an infection that could lead to death.
Well, I’m convinced; and I’m ready to skip
Off to my doctor to ask for a scrip.
