Sure. Or keep clicking random until something “speaks” to you. This comp is just meant to be fun, to stretch the writing imagination and to maybe learn something new.

Fenobam
Here’s a random word slam you can post to your instagram
But it ain’t spam
It’s called Fenobam
An anxiety drug from some nineteen-seventy’s program
Labs came up with anxiolytic meds for heads feeling fear
Weird?
But in those years
Experimental drugs dug deep into the brain’s hemispheres
Check it out
It’s described as a negative allosteric modulator
Of the metabotropic glutamate receptor five
But my word translator doesn’t have an illustrator
It just what the article says after I’ve tried to contrive
But I’ve arrived at the conclusion I’m bad at Chemistry
Yet with poetry
Like a free spree
I’m glad to read this was never marketed commercially
This motherfucker had all kinds of fucked-up symptoms
But to keep it simple
Here are two examples
Psychotomimetic and amnesia would’ve gotten more victims
Yet more investigations have been made for applications
Into antidepressants, analgesic and anti-addictive effects
Wikipedia tends to scare me sometimes
With these random articles and obscure subjects

The New Tang
Of all the weird things going on today
With scientists & politician fame,
About fake news, conspiracies & death,
The way the media is dropping names.
Suggestions coming in for miracles
From bleach & PineSol, household iodine.
You’ll find something under a basin sink
To curing common colds with 409.
But long before COVID-19 arrived,
Were kids who never had enough to eat.
A mix of vitamin and minerals
Was made, enriching food like it was meat.
So comes an age of putting to the test
A powder upon saving lives will hang,
And catering to children’s preferences,
A tasty, new & improved form like Tang!
Multiple micronutrient powder (MNP)
