MEDICATION
VARIATION
Morning comes
Dawn arrives
Another night
I have survived
Up - as ever -
With the Lark
Head downstairs
In the dark
Click the kettle
Brew my tea
Take the pills
Prescribed to me
Take
a pill!
Take
a pill!
Keep B.P.
down
With
Ramipril
Pop the plastic
Tip one out
Morning routine’s
What it’s all about
Let another
Day begin
Open the mouth
Pop it in
Take
the pill!
Fight
your fate!
With
Bisoprolol
Fumarate
Sticks in throat
Makes me frown
Swig my tea
Gulp it down
Like a Science-
Fiction snack
Pop another
From its pack
Take
this pill!
You’ll
feel fine!
Much
calmer now
On
Amlopidine
Drop it in to
A small bowl
Shove it down
My cake-hole
All these pills
Such a drag
Last one’s tiny
Makes me gag
Take the
pill!
As
prescribed
Ben-dro-flum-e-
thiazide
Night-time comes
Much later on
The day is done
Another gone
One last pill
To end the day
Keeping Mister
Death at bay
Take
the pill!
Shove
it in!
End
your day
With Simvastatin
Every day
I medicate
With Bisoprolol
Fumarate
Keeps me alive
Can’t be denied
Ben-dro-flum-e-
thiazide
Ramipril
Amlopidine
Not forgetting
The Simvastatin
Never forgetting
The Simvastatin
