Common Side Effects

The price we pay,

And it is substantial,

To cue our ills

Is more than financial:

Bloating

Blindness

Difficulty in swallowing

Dizziness

Diarrhea

Bouts of unchecked wallowing

Anxiety

Insomnia

Excessive flatulence

Nausea

Muscle spasms

Shortness of extravagance

Why, oh why

Can’t side effects be

Welcome symptoms

Of living healthily?

Only when physicians

Prescribe meditation

And bright sunshine

Will patients discover the

Side effect of feeling fine. 

  

Convertible Weather

I. My man and I

Out for a 

Cruise in the

Sunshine with the

Top down and the

Radio blasting our

Favorite tunes.

Damn, these

Florida

Winters are

Brutal.



II. Late winter sunshine

Indulging my contentment

Basking feels so right.



III. Snow where is thy sting?

My northern brethren know well

I revel in warmth.



Peace, people!
