Three Short poems on Medicines

Hugh

Jack and Jill

 

Jack and Jill
Were on a pill
To make them pay attention

 

Jack came down
And broke Jill's crown
So the company released a statement

 

It wasn't the drugs
Those kids are thugs
And anything else is libel

 

 

Little Piggies

 

This little capsule went to market
This little capsule stayed in the lab
This little capsule had high profits
This little capsule had none
And this little capsule went wee, wee, wee till you die of dehydration

 

 

Pharmaceutical Bingo

 

Take this pink pill for your gout
Oh, by the way your hair will fall out

 

So take this blue pill and stay in bed
Did I mention it will mess with your head


Then take this green pill and try not to fart
As I'm afraid it put a strain on your heart

 

So take this grey pill and exercise
The thing though is you will bleed from your eyes

 

So take this yellow pill and don't go out
Because these will aggravate your gout

 

So take this pink pill ....

    Well written!

      Thank you

      I do believe there might be more than three short truths embedded within your three short poems here.
      I cannot remember a visit to a doctor which didn't result in a new different 'script.
      For me enjoyably versed.

        Yes I do agree that they maybe not as simple as first read, which I didn't realise till I reread them
