CELEBREX ® (Celecoxib)


by Paul David Adkins

 

When Three Dog Night wrote Celebrate!

they knew they’d sell the rights,

would dance to the music

dance to the music

down to the bank.

 

They couldn’t know

instead of Cadillac or Vizeo

their music would introduce the inhibition

of prostaglandin synthesis,

decreasing activity of cyclooxegenase-2.

 

Nice to hum that little ditty

on the road to Shambala

without a wince or limp.

 

To open, close your hand

easily as your father’s

when he cupped a new quarter

in his warm palm

just for you.

Paul David Adkins grew up in South Florida and lives in New York, a rare species of reverse snowbird.
