Olympic Pharmacology


An Olympian from Abilene 
Caught a javelin straight through her spleen... 
Now the pain that was terrible 
Soon was made bearable 
Thanks to gallons of potent morphine. 

Four years later, now free of her pains, 
Drug tests disqualified her again 
When a sample of blood 
Showed just morphine and mud 
Were coursing about in her veins. 

So.. the lesson we learn, don't you see, 
(The moral through all history) 
Is that those most dejected 
May still be subjected 
To double-unfair jeopardy.
