If I Had My Druthers

My doctor once told me something
That had me visibly shaken
He said, "This is your medicine,"
"Which must be annually taken"

I said, "Doc, hold on a minute,"
"And understand my point of view"
"I'd like some I can take by mouth,"
"If it's all, just the same to you!"

LOL I hear you! Women don't seem to mind shots as much as men, but a pill is always better than a needle. Wonderfully witty, Pat! Best wishes, Carolyn
