A Visit To The Doctor Poem by Lee Boueri

A visit to the Doctor.
.
Went to see my doctor.
He said I had depression
Cause you see my dog died
Prozac stops progression

He asked me to stay
Offered an extended session
'Hey since I'm here doc,
my back's been feeling rotten.
It's the boxes I've been stacking, '
He prescribed me Oxycontin
I soon went back to see him,
Cause I had trouble focus'n
'It's OCD. How's your diet? '
'No coffee, lots of green tea'
'For focus you need Ritalin'
.
Most days I am happy,
but he found I was bipolar
Cause I argue with the missus,
she gets angry I don't call her
He added for me Seroquel
to stop me getting snappy
3AM, couldn't sleep,
on the toilet feeling very crappy
'Eat fruits and lots of green '
he said as he added Benzodiazepine.

Seems I was very ill,
I've been smiling since December,
Even when I got his bill,
Which I really can't remember
Time goes by so very quickly,
Can't believe we're in November

My docs a decent man
So hard to find these days
I go whenever I can
I know long term it pays
Without him I'd be staying
In my home snorting cocaine
