Over the counter
Over the counter
I never liked them anyways
And THEY ALWAYS came with a safety cap
for something that’s not now very safe
The bottle always asserted its authority
just two
wait this long if you really want more
Treated me like a child
even though it said “extra strength”
I am not pregnant
that’s hard for a man
particularly in their sixties
but what’s not good for a goose
is maybe even worse for a gander.
I live with pain
constantly
Bad neighbors
Bad news
and so —
pretty bad headaches…
I can easily explore better options
no warnings on dosages
I well know
what works well
and even
if I have
a brutal headache the next morning
and mess up the car driving
At least I had me some fun.
