Ode to gemfibrozil

ODE TO GEMFIBROZIL* My blood is mostly cholesterol, according to the Lab, and triglycerides, from eating fats, more than just a dab. My doctor, quite a helpful guy, said "We'll get it under control; You modify your diet, and I'll get you on a roll.? He prescribed for me a great big pill*; and said "Take it twice a day and it will work like magic to take those fats away." And, sure enough, the next time we gave my blood a check, triglycerides were cut by half; The treatment worked, by heck! My girth has quite expanded I'm much bigger round the middle, But I guess it is the price I pay to be fit as a fiddle. "What happened to the fatty blood?" is the question often asked; And I'll be quick to tell you, "It all turned into gas." Joyce Guy 1/97 *Gemfibrozil (Lopid)is a cholesterol reduction medication Written December 9th, 2001 © on Dec 09 2001 05:41 AM PST   18 • 0 • 14
