Do You Have a Pill for That?

Day Sixty-Three

Diane Zoller-Ciatto
Your blood test results
Came in today.
Doctor said your numbers
Are a cause for dismay.

Triglicerides are high,
Cholesterol over the wall,
Your sugar's on the verge of diabetes,
Could coronary bypass be the next call?

So here are five prescriptions.
Make sure to take them all,
Exercise and lose weight,
And don't join the pub crawl!

So here you are under doctor's care,
Eating pizza and wings with no fear.
And washing down all those pills,
With lots and lots of beer!!
