Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Never
under estimate the power
of a placebo
telling my mind
what it wants to hear
Never
under estimate the power
of my mind
telling my body
loud and clear
things are going to be
different around here
I'm a firm believer
in pharmaceuticals
For good or for ill
use or abuse them
change you they will
They'll cure or calm
what ails you...
just swallow a pill
or two
A pile in my palm
one for every reason
I can think of
except love...
(that's what
chocolate is for)
Today I began
again
the first step
in the long journey back
to find my thin

Very nice work sweet Lori.
Go easy on the pills...

Remember the words of that great orator:
"Could've had a V-8"

JL

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

I think that chocolate consolation for love lack has put my thin forever out of reach... but good luck to you finding yours!

Thanks JL I will go easy (I hate taking them and I often "forget") V-8 sounds good for lunch.

Michael those would really be addicting! And the worst side effect is dimpling! My bum would look like a golf ball! LOL
