Unintended Consequence


A prescribed anti-biotic
For a fiery toe infection
The cure was quite chaotic
Upon reasonable reflection

It did its job efficaciously
For that there's no complaint
But its consequence, confidentially
I wish had shown restraint

The side effects were miserable
And should be declared unlawful
But luckily were fixable
"Cause for four weeks they were awful

The unintended consequence was
Side effectual mayhem
What an anti-biotic sometimes does
Should humanely be condemned

Funny how one thing leads to another, but not so funny from where you were sitting :) Hope all is well now Stan.
