It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate. - Thoreau

it's raining

it's pouring

the dirty, old coot is snoring

he took too much viagra and prozac

and will surely be up in the morning

Author's Note

"Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will elude, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." - Thoreau

Your ironic spoof seems to lambaste the high prevalence of people that are dependent on prescription fixes for oh-so-many ills. This is the fewest amount of words I've ever seen used to suggest maybe side-effects are not worth the "cure". I find your drug combo interesting. Some losers need prozac so as not to be too high-strung & offensive to get a piece of a*s . . . plus viagra for obvious reasons . . . (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

i think you know my writing better than i do - it's freakin' scary. yes, we are a prescription nation - a pill for everything that ails ya and yes it's always about the side effects too. i don't really know much about either but read that prozac was for depression so figured that it was an uplifter and of course the viagra speaks for itself. my parents hated medications of any kind and growing up we wouldn't even take an aspirin. was in a silly mood yesterday when i came "up" with this ... :)

lol about "getting a piece of a*s". never underestimate the value of a good piece of wood no matter how old ... :)

Same at my childhood home . . . no doctors & no pills!

i think they thought that if we took a pill, we'd somehow end up in hell ... :)

Ha ha. How visual Pete. An overdose of viagra. Might be wasted if he took prozac too. That can make you sleepy. Maybe he will have nice dreams.

lol. didn't know that prozac can make you sleepy, read that it's for depression and figured it's some sort of pick me up. as far as the dreams, some sweet, wet ones perhaps. i was in a silly mood when i wrote this yesterday. thanks chris ... :)

It's good to be silly. We all need a bit of humour now and then :)

An overdose of viagra may mean he'll be up in more ways than one.
