"I have just the pill for you"

 

May 9, 2007

This pill helps you sleep
So you put 80, not 40 at the office

That pill makes you numb
So the insults can go on

The blue one bones you up
So she won't leave you for the stud

The other gives you hormones
God forbid you have hot flashes

The pink one helps you forget
So you won't mourn your son's senseless death

The yellow helps you remember
So others don't lose their temper

This one calms you down
So you take all the rage

The red one makes you thin
So you fit in your jeans -- from when you were TEN

The green one is for
Is for ... I forget!
Someone bring me my Pill!
