Whatever You Say Doc

He said, "Lipitor for your heart,
a little red wine for your cancers,
there's no need to ask any other
doctor 'cause I got all the answers,

You must take Vicotin for your pain,
Zanex for your frazzled nerves, and
a healthy dose of Viagra for all the
attention she deserves,

Don't smoke cigarettes and refrain
from drinking beer - 'cept maybe  
around the holidays when you want
to spread a little cheer,

Stay away from sweets and cut back
on the salt...try to get some exercises
and get rid of all the ice cream and
pretzels that you bought,

Forget not your fruits and veggies.
You must try to eat them  at least five
times every day, ... and all that fried
food...try to breakaway,

Drink plenty of water - the bottled kind
will do...it comes in different flavors
just for you...oh,...and by the way,

Fret not the old adage about an apple
a day - did you know for your benefit
they now come in the form of pills?

So, I'll see you at your next scheduled
visit, okay?...and on the way out please
don't forget to pay your bill".
