Poem: We have a neighbor -
He's Mr.Prozac.
In the U.S. He's a celebrity,
Though you would never know it, says Isaac,
My manic-depressive authority.

Isaac says some people really need Him,
Like the depressed and the suicidal,
But others don't

Their doctors just drug them
To collect their expensive medical fees;
what's tragic is no one knows better,
As patients become dependent - or worse,
Mr. Prozac and His doc's get richer
By deftly emptying their patients' purse...

While mental patients remain helpless,
Mr. Prozac's too greedy to notice....
