Poison Control Center


When Mike gave me the belladonna flower
I accepted it as a thoughtful gift
And not as an invitation to kill myself
But several days later
When the flower had wilted
I threw it out
And proceeded to drink the water it had been sitting in for several days
Completely by accident.
I got a little worried.
And I thought about the time Nancy�s grandmother
Accidentally drank Windex
She still lived to be a hundred.
Did drinking poison do that to her?
I worried some more.
