From time to time
Mrs. Linklater has too much time on her hands and she decides to Go A
Googling. She racks her brain for a noun, verb, or adjective and
sees what Google brings up.
Today Mrs. L Googled ASININE and found asininepoetry.com. [Sorry this isn't a link because I'm on my MAC].
Once there she clicked on a random
poem and immediately discovered this one, which lives up to all that
asinine is cracked up to be.
SNAKEOILS
by Daniel Sciarra
I take a pill for hair loss
another to stay thin
I take 3 for my prostate

To perk up in the morning
I chew some willow stem
and I take a pill at bedtime
to help me sleep in REM
A protein shake at noon
some carrot juice for snack
aspirin and a garlic pill
to prevent a heart attack
And then I take valium
and the extract of a lime
to fight the stress that comes
from being healthy all the time
2 anti-aging enzymes
and, of course, a multi vit
and then I take a second job
to pay for all this shit
