So, you’re looking for a remedy,
For that pain inside your ear.
What if the drug’s side effects,
Outweigh your issue here.
If you look on the bottle,
The list is oh so long.
The symptoms you’ll experience,
Things that could go wrong.
Your lungs may be affected,
You may have shortness of breath.
You also may experience,
Severe pains within your chest.
There’s your digestive track,
A case just like colitis.
Don’t forget kidney failure,
Yellowing skin and hepatitis.
All of the eye problems,
Blurred vision and dizziness.
Headaches, rashes and hives,
Arms and legs there’s weakness.
The symptom that takes the cake,
“May attack your normal organs.”
That line kills it for me,
The Mother of all warnings.
Maybe sway from harsh drugs,
Is there something more passive.
Instead, for that ear ache,
Just take a couple of Aspirins.
If the Doc leaves you a message,
To follow his advice and dominion,
Call him back and tell him that,
You’re getting a second opinion.
But, decide to take his advice,
To relieve what inside is stricken,
Just make sure that he also writes,
A script for all of the symptoms.
