Blue or Purple
I cannot, shall not, never will enjoy again, or have a thrill I thought... until I got the pill... anticipate. I can, I shall, again I will enjoy myself and have that thrill; expectantly I took the pill.... would it abate? It grew again; I felt a chill inside, as heat rose to the sill. I thought that I could hold, until... regurgitate. © MLee Dickens'son 18 Sept 2006 P.S. It seems I took the pill too late; the doctor says that I should wait... but not too long, lest it abate. Next time, I will. ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Hey Daniel,
 "One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all, go ask Daniel" Per usual, you have brought a humorous and interesting poem to the table. I really enjoy the repetition, and the ending is a riot. Blue or purple, such decisions? Thanks for sharing your humor!

Testosterone is not the prob... but then again, where is that throb of heart when I come to this job? It's disappeared! Perhaps retirement time has neared... the time in youth I know I'd feared, and yet, I think I'm still high-geared. It's swim or bob! Lightly, Daniel

Enjoyed your aging colors. All my pills are pink or red.
I think I take the pink to wake before I blink. I think I take the red to rest again in bed. Upon a pixy wink what more should be said? Don |

You'll find when old age comes to roost
quite often you will need a boost A blue pill taken once a week restores the confidence you seek. But is product worth the bill the price you pay to buy the pill. A constant drain upon your wealth I get mine on the national health. For my well being don't you see I still get thrills and they are free |
