Challenged Nigerian Pharmacists

The Roadside Medicine Sellers
Are Pharmacists' bold tellers
Of an enduring contest
Not unlike a weighted test!

Ever waxing Drug Dealers
Competing as Sure Healers
But spinning laughing profits
For all their being cursed misfits!

Shame to legalizing Laws
Unbolting illegal doors,
Patent Medicine - obtained Rights
A From - Reality Fool's flights 
That often drop a body
For a post -  Morten study

What a crazy patronage
Of Butchers in Tactful Age
Hardly like us for neck ties
Their tie - free neck for loud lies

Oh' how their shelves kick with drugs 
In their stores Persian Rugs
Their Sales' Facilitators
The Non - Stop Oscillators 


Admit men ,though, we're the cause 
Before customers long pause 
Smiles not customer- friendly
Handshakes not given grandly
Lordly prices for packets
The released picture Rackets.
