Are you reading more poems but enjoying it less?

Absolutely hysterical. What a clever take on commercials featuring happy, attractive people sailing through life surrounded by verdant landscapes and enthusiastic others after finding the simple remedy for their allergies / erectile dysfunction / depression / social anxiety / insomnia, etc.

Followed by the rapid-fire listing in a low voice-over of possible side effects.

Your lead-in question itself spoofs these pharmaceutically-concerned commercials with its take-off on the old Camel ad: "Are you smoking more but enjoying it less?"

The rhythm and rhyme are perfect, the nonchalant acceptance amid the escalating absurdity of the side effects is a hoot, and the final couplet is to die for.

The title that popped into my head was: Talk To Your Doctor About It.

I've made a new commerical for my product, you'll admire

although it may cause indigestion, burning like a fire

it may make you incontinent, forgetful, and perspire

but it will grant your every wish - no matter what desire.

It is a simple capsule you consume just twice a day

and in a month, or two at most, takes all your cares away

it makes your tongue feel dry, or fall away or turn to gray

but you will feel so good inside, you'll bite for it today.

It has been linked to cancer and a heart problem or two

but comes in packs of 20 with a cap you can unscrew

A year on it will out rank God and country for you too,

Though comas, rare, have happened, satisfaction's sure for you,

The promo and the product are superb, but here's the rub,

The FDA and ATF say BULLETS aren't a drug.

There`s something the matter Cheese...just one hint -

NEVER explain your mental state to a doctor.

Plus...keep witting.

We have a hospital here named The Whittington. - stay around your neck of the woods -

for our N.H.S. admin is less rational than you. (Imagine that! lol).

[ what did you say is the name of the pill *takes out script-pad -

I`ll send some elbow-GREASE* havta be careful how you spell on here] :

I think you have heffalumpisis but it is not contagious (normally, I mean -)

and if it help you write a lot more......but the chemical reactions of spittle & pewter...no.

Have a pink truffle > ]:-).

funny, very bad example to 10 11 12 13 14 15 year olds looking in. drugs are funny children lets make a funny poem about them {;-(

And I was hoping this didn't rhyme

As to reading more, the answer is yes although I hope to graduate from the series: "See Dick Run," very soon. I think: "See Jane Smile," is more intimate.

its more like verse but very funny.the opener is hilarious,but remember its not the little yellow pill its your wit and sense of humour aswell. i dont know if its about yourself but have you tried meditation its working wonders for my depression i highly reccomend it.

This is unspeakably funny. You just earned the first seven I have ever awarded. (Thompson's Scale)

Tour de force, formally----but you knew that already.

the cheese whisperer

Am still enjoying poems, probably even more so.

I liked this. Did you know, when you float an air

biscuit, you can make beautiful music, and even

talk to them. They have feelings too.

Congrats
