*** Asthma ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

when I was but a young lad growing up
back then we were given milk with which to sup
at school there was only one with asthma, for sports to fail
now every where you look there is an inhaler trail
how much do the doctors get payed per puffer they sell ?
oh how the morals of this profession fell !
by using colour codes make them user friendly
what is the damage caused by them incidentally ?
is not this the same stuff that stops a woman's contraction
to dispense it out in willy nilly fashion seems an attraction
you try to blame asthma on those that are smoking
while it doesn't help, it is not the cause of them choking
why do you think the laws were changed about damp housing ?
have your house checked before blame you start spouting.
