I take eight tablets, if I remember
Every single day.
I spread them on the worktop,
In colourful array.
I take a water tablet
To flush my kidneys out
Then I take a bigger white pill
To ease the pain I get with gout.
The next one contains rat poison,
I tell you not a lie,
But this, they say, is essential.
Without it I would die .
Now make some sense of that
And make the answer quick
In case I get St Vitas Dance
And my legs start to kick.
Next I take a capsule,
Which is a lovely brownish red
I think it helps my arthritis
Or the pain that’s in my head
Into a glass of water
An aspirin next I drop
Sometimes I put the wrong one in
And watch it float on top.
That’s when, in total confusion
I have to walk away.
I put them in the cupboard
And hope I last the day
I save two pills for after
I’ve had my piece of toast.
But my husband sometimes takes them
So him, I have to roast.
I’m not sure how they affect him.
But a change is as good as a rest
I’ve hidden his Viagra
As I think it’s for the best.
