A Spell for Happiness


           Take one on the full moon

           And the half moon

           And even the quarter moon.


Actually, just take it every moon.

Once a day, that's what it says on the label.

60 milligrams by mouth, morning or eve; it won't make a difference

But if you really want it to work

Just the same as it should,

Bless it by the Gods to show your conviction.


Light candles four: North, South, East and West

Assigning the elements to each

And you put your dosage in the middle.


When invoking the Gods,

It's always best to use Elizabethan diction

Even if Incorrectly.

So when in doubt just add the suffix -eth

To as many words-eth as-eth possible-eth.

So you say something like:


              Oh great-eth one,

              Swallow mine sorrows

              As I swallow-eth this capsule.

             Fill-eth me with your light and splendor

             Let it be-eth one with this

            Fluoxetine hydrochloride.


And lift your arms to the Gods,

repeat-eth times three.

Be sure to end with: so mote it be!


That completes-eth the incantation

But there may still be demons present,

Aside from the ones already in your head.

And they bring-eth

Headaches, insomnia, dizziness, dry mouth, upset stomach, pain, impotence, skin rash, and

In some cases:

Death.

So be sure to burn sage.

This tells the demons to get-eth the fuck out-eth.


But demons cast out have a funny way

Of creeping back in to feast on serotonin.

So you must cast your spell daily.

For happiness can only be-eth achieved

With magic.
