Lunesta

You’re a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
(Someone Saved My Life Tonight, Sir Elton John)

Well no one saved my lousy life last night,
I’ll tell ya that!

The good Doc took me off my Ambien.
“It’s a narcotic, you know.”
Narcotics bad.

He prescribed the “Butterfly” medicine.
You know the one.
The pretty little green bug flying into people’s bedroom windows and finding them sound asleep.
The ad wants us to believe it’s because of Lunesta, the other purple pill.

Well I pulled an all-nighter on Lunesta last night.
I can remember when an all-nighter was a good thing!
Last night…not so good.

I want my Ambien back
And that little green butterfly can kiss the very white of my ass!
