I wonder where the pills go
As I shove them down my throat
Nine a day and counting
Perhaps they go by boat
I take with lots of water
So it would make a lot of sense
To sail down my oesophagus
Fair play in their defence
It’s a fair drop to the stomach
So will the boat survive
I bet some will fall out
Never to arrive
And there’s another question
Who tells them where to go
A sat nav doesn’t work down therel
Do they just go with the flow
Down the duodenum
Gall bladder to the right
Sailing past the pancreask
Down here it’s black as night
Next the small intestine
Never seen so many bends
Navigate it safely
Is this our journeys end
The water has turned brown
And the smell is very bad
Don’t know why he eats that curry
Worst journey we’ve ever had.
But look whose here to save us
Captain blood says jump on board
I’ll take you where your going
Where your cargo will be stored
Through the veins and arteries
We thunder at a pace
Cos Jeff is relying on us
To bring the smile back to his face.
We reach the blood brain barrier
The body’s Brexit border
But how do we cross it
Without causing disorder.
(Don’t ask the politicians)
The Captain has a plan
We disguise ourselves as blood
The blood brain barrier fall for it
And in we all flood
Our final destination
The substantia nigra is in sight
Let’s all get to work then
And make this body right.
Was one hell of a journey
And some got left behind
We’ll do it all again tomorrow
Cos that’s how we’re inclined
But Jeff do us a favour
You know we’re in a hurry
Enjoy your day glad we helped
But just lay off the curry
😂😂😂 at the time I was taking 9 pills a day for my Parkinson’s and it crossed my mind “how do they know where to go
Very entertaining and very clever - favourite lines
We reach the blood brain barrier
The body’s Brexit border
But how do we cross it
Without causing disorder.
That made me smile!
Constipation now there’s a subject worthy of a poem and you guessed it shakey spear was inspired to write about his experience
It's a damn good question. What with PD, blood pressure, sleep disorder, skin disease etc. I'm swallowing fistfuls every day. Who sorts them out and sends them on to the right bit? And can they get past the constipation anyway? I need to eat more curry!
