Cold Medicine
What admin tasks
Can I do on Mucinex
Versus the symptoms they
Say it takes away?
Can I code the
Department expenses
Categorize the cost of
Coffees at the conference
Can I write a recommendation
For the Dean’s daughter
Rate her ripe
Graffiti in the john
She stole a golf cart
And stranded it here
With no juice to jangle its keys
It is blocking the courtyard
On no occasion did I
Ever see her strive or
Care or carry out an objective
Other than for fun
Compared to her peers
Well there are none
Who sneeze on your keyboard
Take your login for a ride
And wake up the next day
To ask for your John Hancock
On their summer internship
At the Accountability Office
The coffee with her
I can write off as an
Academic expense she
Schooled me in scamming
She chugged my Mucinex
Medicine makes things seem real
Is it better to cough
Than to wonder

NOTE
Side effects of Mucinex: “Dextromethorphan, also known as “DXM” and “the poor man’s PCP,” is a synthetically produced drug that is available in more than 140 over-the-counter cough and cold preparations. When used at recommended dosing levels, cold and cough products containing DXM cause minor, if any, adverse effects. When the suggested dosing regimen of DXM is surpassed for recreational use, an abundance of psychiatric symptoms can result. The effects are dose-dependent and vary from mild motor and cognitive impairment to PCP-like para-psychotic symptoms such as delusions, dissociative states, paranoia, and visual hallucinations.”–National Library of Medicine
