Take a Pill

         We’re too good to be happy too straight to be sad.                                                                 - Carly Simon

(Pet Peeve take 4)

Wine instead of beer

fish instead of tenderloin
steelcut oats instead of cheerios
apples instead of toffee
black coffee instead of lattes.

Have a clean heart, says the church billboard.
Take a pill, says the doctor.
Sign my petition says the politician
Review our voting guide says the priest.
Politics in the pew, directives on the fridge.
