The Apothecary

Open up the bottle
And take the pills inside.
Don’t worry about the quantity
Just sit back for the ride.

There are pills to keep you happy,
And pills to help with pain.
There are pills to promote healing,
And pills to keep you sane.

Some pills are for menopause,
And others are for gout.
Some can help you focus,
Still others clean you out.

Some adjust your chemicals,
Or help the heart beat strong.
Other can tickle the brain
And prevent things going wrong.

Liquid ones act super fast,
Powdered ones act slow.
Chewables stick in your teeth,
And water helps them go.

There are big ones for your sugars,
Small ones for sleepless nights.
Long ones for whatever things
The doctor sets to rights.

There are pills for every ailment
That mankind can conceive.
They may not cure the problem,
But a life can be retrieved!
