Food In a Pharmacy

So many unhealthy foods
Sixteen kinds of candy
Three varieties of Slim Jim,
Eleven kinds of potato chips
Here I sit at a pharmacy, amazed
Intrigued that they are promoting this stuff
Then I notice the pop machine.
And the twenty-six kinds of sugary gum.
Wow!

You can get whatever you want now at most pharmacies. They will kill you knowingly or unknowingly. Our pharmacy is like a huge department store, only they don't sell clothing or shoes.

They will probably start selling clothing and shoes in another week or two.
