I'd like to write a prescription
That’s never had bad side effects

To help stress of any description

To all races, classes and sex.

It’s totally free with no fault.

It’s simple for it will just say,

“Take life with a big pinch of salt

One, two, three, four times a day”.

For our lives are bustling with hustle,

Underpaid, overworked, overtaxed,

That stimulates spasm of muscle

Which are cured by being relaxed.

Yet I see tension headaches and chest pain,

Irritable bowel with diarrhoea,

Asthma, hypertension and migraine

Which out of the blue will appear.

These people all suffer from tension

Causing spasm that will so deform.

The symptoms enhance apprehension

So a downward spiral will form.

We need to escape from this pressure

With  moments of pleasure and fun

And allow our minds to be fresher

Avoiding  brains cooked  to well done.

My prescription has numerous potions.

Any fun that will so entertain

Or it may need to be a lotion

To inject in a jocular vein.

For to laugh will untie all the spasm.

It’s a natural tranquiliser.

And replenish the enthusiasm,

An energy synthesiser.

So have fun on a daily basis.

Don’t be a stick in the mud.

Have some daily “Red Faces”.

It will make you more understood.

Relax both your body and brain.

If you don’t it’s only your fault

For life is only a game.

So take it with a big pinch of salt.
