My mom underwent successful cancer surgery and was given Vicodin afterwards, which, shall we say, improved her attitude. Inspired by Ed Matlack and Georg Mateos, to the tune of the Spiderman cartoon Photo:Myspace.com

Vicodin Vicodin Makes old ladies spidermen Flying down the halls, climbing walls Tormenting staff with false nurse calls Oh yeah celebrate Vicodin Vicodin grows you wings You forget about all bad things Physical therapist helps you stand You tap dance on your bedpan Oh yeah celebrate Vicodin Vicodin patient’s choice Helps release that inner voice Visitors listening shake their head Were it recorded playback you’d dread Oh yeah gimme’ my Vicodin Vicodin has run its course Your soft voice is slightly hoarse Stitches healing, on the mend It hurts less now when you bend Hey doc thanks for the Vicodin Copyright 2010 Patrick Granfors

Just had kidney surgery and given hydrocodene. Maybe not the same but at least I can breathe through the pain. Cute poem my friend. :)

A light take on a very serious subject. I haven't experienced Vicodin myself, but it sounds like one powerful drug. It appears to have multiple effects�some not so good. If it helps the people alive, I'm for it. Although it appears to be the kind of drug you should get off of it as soon as possible.
