BONERS AND BREATHERS

Greetings Hairballers,

Apologies for being a day late. 

I, like many others, have gone through the “donut hole,” which I call the rabbit hole for our prescriptions this year.  This hadn’t happened to me before and I now see what a bleak landscape this is for many.  Why, in what we say is the greatest country on earth, do people have to make a choice between food and medicine? Other countries take care of all their citizens.  I’m addressing the seniors here, but the cost of drugs is astronomical for everyone here in the U.S.

Tumbling down the rabbit hole,

hundreds of seniors hit the wall

as the big pharma squeeze is on

for our drug dependent nation

Oldsters are scoring drugs from

people friendly nations

like Canada and Mexico

just to stay alive and afloat

What’s the street value of

Ventolin, Januvia,

Symbicort and Humera?

Not a single back-alley pill in the bunch

The good news is

Viagra is still free

boners or all,

breathing for none

you can get laid

any day of the week

with your erection lasting

less than 4 hours

unless…

you can’t breath or are

going into a diabetic coma

or having a heart attack--

then, you’re screwed

Hairballs,
