Since their ad was on TV and said ask your doctor, How many office visits would you guess that you've made To see what he's learned from their corporate promotions, Ghostwritten by faux academics they paid? Was the side effects list compiled by attorneys Attempting to cover their bosses' behinds? What are the chances of all that stuff happening? Any patients who risk them must be out of their minds. Yet Big Pharma spends big bucks to try to convince Late-night TV viewers that they have a condition That to be detected requires myriad tests And purveyors of drugs with a weird sense of mission. Only a doody-head would try to promote them, Or an unemployed ghostwriter seeking a job. "If you don't take at least five of these capsules a day, How can you continue to be a heartthrob On those rare occasions when she looks at you twice For anything other than to ask you to leave?" Could anyone but an octogenarian At three in the morning be that naïve?
