Arco Iris: A Pharmacopeia
Indigo pill to quell acidity
In the mess that’s your digestion
Blue returns benign fluidity –
Pulmonary (hack!) congestion
Suffering a coarse lividity
From the relative humidity?
Suck on down this red one here:
Restores the tissues with rapidity
Is your John Thomas lacking in
Its customary stout solidity?
Talk to Ditka; he’ll agree
The greenies bring about turgidity
(Just remember, take cold showers
If your joytoy lasts four hours;
If after three your lover sours,
Well, who said fucking’s a bed of flowers?)
How about those cheerless chaps
Suffering excess timidity?
Where vodka once chinked up the gaps
These blue pills buttress self-validity
A rainbow once was set in clouds
A sign of heaven’s blah blah blah
With rainbows are we all endowed
From Bangladesh to Bogota
Awash in real or feigned morbidity
Our vasty wealth, a huge liquidity
A tempting target for cupidity…
Which color pill will fix stupidity?
