three fluoxytine
to keep the depression at bay
but sometimes the dam breaks
and nightmares flood inside.
One Ramipril
for the thickening blood
to keep it flowing
and keep me stroke-free
one clopidogrel
also for the blood
to be stopped prior to surgery
in case I bleed out
One Levothyroxin
for my underactive thyroid gland
which makes me go to fat
and hoard calories
one premarin
for the oestrogen boost
and to keep away the beard
and the receding hair
One Statin to take to bed
to help me survive the night
with faculties intact
and no ambulance.
