A beginner in auto mechanics
Was experiencing tension and panics
For the laddie would fear
Cars would shift out of gear
So his doctor prescribed him some Xanax

Now Xanax can be habit forming
And the lad's doc was so misinforming
He took more than he ought
And the plights that this brought
Were at work, for he wasn't performing

Aye, the med made this laddie so tired
That in April, the poor boy was fired
His recall was quite blurred
As to what had occurred
And just how his dilemma transpired

There was an aspiring mechanic
With a story, alas, that is tragic
Too late he discerned
But the lesson he learned
Is that no med has wonders like magic

By a might effort of will
Overcame his natural bonhomie
And wrote 'Principles of Political Economy'.
 
The grandson of Albert Einstein
Is a mighty sly neighbor of mine
He proposed a new theory
But I'm awfully leery
And when asking for funds, I declined
 
Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
Don't mess with

Just visit sick chicks gone ballistic
Sadistic hicks, wicked and twisted
A spell to dispell
To quell those from hell
Then me and the gifted witch kick it
