 Codeine Prescription

Bodies develop lots of pain

And want to get relief, and so

This is certain doctors' domain.

Off to such doctors, bodies go.

Though it's legal most of the time,

Some bodies want the pain drugs when

There's really no reason nor rhyme,

Bodies just want that high again.

I was such a body and got

Codeine for my pain self diagnosed,

And used this drug an awful lot.

They found me when I overdosed.

They asked me why codeine I do.

Cuz this doc has lots of pain too.
