Breakfast Repast
by Charles E MinshallIt seems my breakfast
Consists of pill after pill,
All of them needed
But against my will.
There's multi vitamins,
Vitamin E and zinc,
I would prefer them all
Down the kitchen sink.
There's calcium and aspirin,
An exhaler I blow,
But all of no help
At least that I know.
There's anti histamine
And a blood pressure med.
It's hard to keep track
Of them all in my head.
These are mostly pills
That start off my day,
If the doctors would let me
I would throw them away.
Then there's the treadmill,
The thought hurts my head,
After my pill breakfast
It's back to my bed.

have calories/I seem to be fatter.....Charlie
