Sara Kendrick Poet List

Castor Oil Listing Makes Us Well-Sick

Palma Christe Uses
Food additive and flavoring agent no wonder we get sick now
Mold inhibitor agree with this one mold could not survive in its presence
Ingredients in skin care products like lipstick_don't lick those lips so much
Part of the seed contains a potent toxin called ricin which is deadly poison
An infection lingered after doctor's visit
Momma said castor oil the solution
Grape flavored slime
Gag, gag, nausea
Vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit
Cough, cough, cough
Diarrhea all night
Now two illnesses, upset stomach and snotty nose
Thank God no longer used as a medical treatment 
How could anyone give poison to a person anyway

Carolyn Devonshire June 17, 2014 at 5:27 PM Dear Sara, I'm glad my mother never gave us Castor Oil. You have a wealth of knowledge on health issues and this poem would be funny if the effects of Castor Oil weren't so true. Awesome win! Congratulations. Love, Carolyn

Jack Horne May 11, 2014 at 6:22 PM LOL, had a chuckle here - sounds like horrid stuff (I'm also glad they don't use it anymore!)
