Stooping to Pick Up a Pill ...

[Cisco99]

... that fell to the floor and skittered under my desk.

I try bending at the back but I don’t bend so good.

I slide off the chair and get down on my bony knees

but then my shoulder still keeps me from ducking under

the table, and now my neck feels like it might go out.

I get on all fours and duck my head under, and the way is clear until

I start wheezing, and my eyes bug out, and my heart begins

to thump and that big vein pulses up top, I can even

feel the stress in my hair. But then -- there it is, my precious Zytiga,

the pill of the gods, $260.20 apiece on the open market,

the mud-colored pearl that keeps my cancer at bay,

now bearded weird with bunny dust. I hold the pill between two fingers

like a host held up to chiming bells and think this magic stone

will keep me alive, unless I have to dive under this desk again.

Lucky it didn’t fall between the drivers seat and the center console in my car right next to the potato chip and the pencil I can’t reach!

My son dropped his flash drive containing all his grad school notes into that space.

[Danielgreer in reply to Cisco99]

Bummer! You need someone with a real skinny hand to get in there to get it😀

or you need to devise some duck tape type of sticky thing to bring it up...

the fixes we get into...

My roommate in college used to say “duct tape is God”!

[Bluebird11 in reply to Danielgreer]

I don't like to fly.. I go cross country on the train... what I take with me is duct tape... AND, I share it with others on the train.. a conductor taught me that trick while waiting for a roll of it stopped in Reno as the air conditioner in the sleeping car created a icicle inside... duct tape the vents, duct tape your door.. get a tear in something, duct tape it.. but also if traveling by train be sure to bring a thermometer and advil, traveled with my grandson- learned the hard way ... boy scouts motto isn't it 'be prepared'...

I'm missing one Xtandi,

Was I shorted?

Or did the vacuum eat it?

Or could the black cat,

Whose head is always jerking,

Now be forever protected,

From the curse of Prostate Cancer.

[Cisco99]

It's an expensive way to protect your female cat from prostate cancer.

I dropped a viagra pill once and my pet rooster ate it so I called my wife at work and told her I had a stiff cock waiting for her when she comes home.... She got even.... she cooked it...and would you believe it ... it was a cinch to carve.....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
