New Drug Poem by JoAnn McGrath

I started this new drug
more than a month ago
It's ingredients are very different
in return I get quid pro quo

I started the dosage small
and in time I gradually increased
It wasn't in capsule form
and not even time released

I must say it made some improvement
on the emotional scene
You could tell by my poetry writing
that my word took on lighter mean

This new drug is very addictive
I must admit I take more than I need
But I'm sure the doctors won't mind
because there's no prescription to read

If you haven't figured it out yet
the new drug I legally found
Put on your best sleuth hats
and just have a look around

First...you should look in the mirror
It is you that I hope you see
Second..your reading my poetry
Put together...that's the new drug for me: O)
