Patty Cake
Won’t you
Drink
Some of my
Milkshake?
Didn’t put any
Poison in…
Maybe
Powdered sugar coated
Truth
The perfect dose
Turns
An overflowing
Plate of bullshit
Sweet
Easy to swallow
Take it all down
Twice a day!
Green
For when you’re anxious
White
Helps you sleep
Orange counteracts
Green’s constipating effect
Morning and
Nightly rituals
Devoted to the gods of
Pill containers
All answers found
Just
Don’t forget the refill
Find a pharmacy
At least
Occasionally
Open late
Security only comes
With
The sound of a full bottle
Running out is
Scary enough
You might
Need
To take another
Green one.

I anticipate the cure for you is that which may be gotten from your milkshake. I will partake regularly. Nice piece.

Thank you Robert! I like the comparison, it’s a good song 🙂 Although I don’t think the song is about taking prescription meds…

The lyrics do seem to lean toward hallucinogens.

A bitter pill to swallow. Love the lines about the bullshit.
That is what so many of these meds are. You take it to help one ailment, and they cause so many side effects that are just as bad or worse.

Thanks a lot Andrew! I feel like prescription medication shouldn’t be the first answer. Sometimes there are simple solutions to ailments that can be solved or reversed with natural remedies, but too often the quick fix of taking a pill is the route we choose instead. Hope you enjoyed your trip 😀

I am wary of doctors who are quick with the prescription pad. There are always healthy foods and changes in lifestyle that can change one’s health without the use of meds.

I agree, a good doctor should be able to give more than one solution. Our bodies are all different and what helps one person to heal, might only cause more problems for someone else.
