Debate slamming (Haikus, lots of 'em)

Oh goodness Rooster
Did you take your Ritalin?
Please tell me you did.

Ritalin's not strong
enough for our friend Rooster.
Give the guy a bong!

[KJ Fellie]

I took Ritalin
Long ago, but no longer.
Drugs cost too much. WEEE!!!

One year of my life
I do not remember, or
maybe it was more.

I was a zombie
on another prescription
Don't take that no more.

Tested many things
but cannot afford meds now
OH, LOOK! SHINY THINGS!!!

[Tom Flapwell]

You were a zombie?
Did you try to eat some brains?
Z-O-M-F-G!

[KJ Fellie]

I don't remember.
The days are just gone, almost
like they never were.

I remember times
when I had not taken it
but the rest is gone.

It pisses me off
to have so much of my time
missing from my life.

[Rooster]

I'm just a few years too old for Ritalin. ADD/ADHD only just recently started being diagnosed, and even more recently treated.

But if I was in school again now I'd probably be recomended it. Dunno why.

Oh look, a butterfly...

[KJ Fellie]

For any who are on medication or need to be medicated for ADD/ADHD, I recommend asking about Concerta. That's the same medicine as Ritalin, but a slightly different form of delivery. It's still a pill, before you ask. That stuff works miracles, but is fairly expensive. It's engineered to steadily release medicine over an extended period of time, and evens out that peak-and-trough effect that Ritalin has.

And as for age, I'm a little bit older than Rooster, and I took Concerta, until my medical insurance went bye-bye, and my parents both take it.

Concerta was a
miracle, it fit my needs.
Now no insurance.

I hate to sound like
an advertisement, but it
really worked for me.

Ah, but is it the kind you swallow...?

No, you stuff it up your nose. (Yes. It is to be swallowed. And I know you were referring to a suppository. It is not one. (though that reminds me of a great scene from Futurama: Fry: "I can't swallow that!" Professor: "Good news! It's a suppository!"))

Sorry, this was

I'm stuck in haiku!
It won't go away! Oh, well.
At least it's not "rhyme."

I just realized:
I hear classical music.
How did that happen?

Ah, techno remix.
Ooh! Symphony Mix! Rock on!
How I love techno...
