Pills and Problems comical poem 625 by Angela Lansbury

 


I have big pills, and small pills

Small brown pills and big white pills

Plus take four times a day pills

Add morning, noon and night pills


I read: take them with water

Chewable, and, do not chew

Be careful take the right pills

Please say what patients should do


One pill a day's a challenge

I'm now taking more than six

I'm in such a dreadful muddle

Which  labels on each pill could fix


I have written down the times

And each pill name on the list

But now I've lost the paper

Which vital  pill have I missed?


If I miss a pill, I know

Because I'm in dreadful pain

I read the long instructions

With care, again and again


I'm tired from all this reading

The small print makes me suspect

That hating taking good pills

Is the biggest side effect.
