"Dosage"

I take 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

but sadly I am still alive.

I force down 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

I feel dizzy every now and then.

Down my throat slips up to 13.

I feel less pain, but I'm still uncertain.

14, 15, 16, '7.

I'll take a few more and be in heaven.

18, 19, then there's 20...

I'm gone now...

that was plenty.
