If your mood needs elevation
You may feel a strong temptation
To take the meds a shrink provides
And heal your brain from your insides
Perhaps the drugs are efficacious
When your despair is quite hellacious
But soon you may begin to wonder
When Effexor rips your gut asunder
Whether toilet time’s the trade off
You were seeking when you paid off
An insurance carrier’s bills
That cover a stream of happy pills
And what of those without good coverage?
Their quandary is to discoverage
Whether meds are worth full price
To only possibly perhaps feel nice
