"We'll put you on medication" They said,
"It'll make you feel much better!"
The medication screwed up my head.
I couldn't even write a letter.
Then they said "That's not enough.
We'll just add another."
Actually I think that all that stuff
Just counteracts each other.
"Oh ,NO" they said "We'll try a third
And that will help much more!"
I've never heard anything so absurd!
I'm worse off than before.
They said "A fourth medication is what you need"
And that's just what I got.
So unnecessary if they'd just concede
ALL I NEED IS POT!

ABOUT THE POET ~
I am remarkably liberal for someone my age, (I am told). I am a 64 year old mother and grandmother of a 21 year old, who, btw, is perfect. I revere wit and speak fluent sarcasm. I like to make people laugh but more importantly, I like to make them think. I grew up totally urban, in Jersey City, New Jersey and now live on a nut farm in Gervais, Oregon.
