Can you write me a prescription,
\ndoc, for some dilaudid, please?
\nI heard it helped with Elvis.
\nI have trouble with my knees.
\nAnd maybe a few percodans
\nwould help me with my head.
\nBut if you’re running low on those,
\ndarvon will do instead.
\nOf course I’ll need some valium
\nto quell this morning shake.
\nI always wake up groggy
\nfrom the sleeping pills I take.
\nAnd, while you’re at it,
\nopiods and pill form THC
\nwould really ease my ailments,
\ndoc; they’ll be the death of me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
