Pills



Now when I was a young man
I didn’t need pills everything worked
I wasn’t a fan

But now that I'm old
I need pills everyday
One to lower my blood pressure
Another to keep the cholesterol away

Now I have a new one
To keep my mind straight
And because of this
I can’t ejaculate

It’s good for an old man to stay hard for so long
But even for that
I need a pill for that schlong

I wonder whats next in the pill world for me
Maybe a pill
So I can pee

They gave me holder to keep my pills all arranged
But keeping them straight
Is making me deranged

I need a pill to tell me what pill and when
Because for the life of me
I forget now and then

I can’t tell the difference between the colors of each
If I take the wrong one
I have a hard on and no speech

Now all these little pills
Cost a pile of bills
Which causes me
Lots of stress and ill

No more pills thank you
I’ve had my fill

Eric (and sometimes not)
