Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

At the Drug Store

At the drug store, what to choose?
All those choices do confuse.
Vitamins for gals or men?
Over 50? Pick again!

DayQuil, NyQuil, ZzQuil or
Generic ones made by the store?
Tablets, caplets, maybe gels?
Wonder which one better sells.

Dental floss in mint or plain?
Waxed or unwaxed? What a pain!
Lotions for your winter itch
Look the same, so which is which?

I’m exhausted when I leave
Even though I do believe
Products with a different name,
Though hyped as best, are all the same!

Robert Johnson February 1, 2015 at 8:49 PM You know ilene. I really think you should be featured on the Today show with your wonderfully topical poems. It would be a welcome segment to the show. Peace. :)
