Six little pills all snug in a pack
Six  little pills when microbes attack
Six little pills give illness the whack
Six little pills are doled out like crack

Oh Zithromax, Zithromax!
What would we do?
When people are coughing up purulent goo?
Zithromax!  Zithromax!
The patients felt cheated
Till you gave us something to make them feel treated.

Six little pills in a pack for the handing.
Six little pills, what excellent branding!
Six little pills for the patient demanding.
Six little pills, good science notwithstanding.

Oh Zithromax, Zithromax!
So overused.
As URI treatment makes patients confused.
Oh Zithromax, Zithromax!
Prescribed without blinking
How long will physicians give you without thinking?

Six little pills at the patients’ insistence
Six little pills should we now keep our distance?
Six little pills we’ll rue your existence
If Six little pills are paths to resistance.

Oh Zithromax, Zithromax!
You make us desirous
Against our best judgment to cover a virus
Oh Zithromax, Zithromax!
Your pills in a pack
So oft make the best doctor act like a quack.

*Thanks to MarylandMD for pointing out my major gaffe – I called it “Five Little Pills” when a Z-Pak is six pills.  I could’ve called it poetic license, but someone would’ve probably made a wise-crack about needing a learner’s permit.
