Medicine In the Year 2736

Injection to let you fly through the air, 
Nobody to look at you or downwards stare. 

Bottle, a liquid to change hair colour to a permanent shade, 
Just the right amount for your own liking, not to fade. 

And a tablet for skin colour, again any colour, 
Most teenagers go for purple so as to tower. 

Laser zap with ease eradicates your cancer flare,  
Completely curable now, without radiation’s glare. 

No MND, MD or dwarfism abound, 
With genetic editing there’s a muscular sound. 

Only problem is kids want to design on their iPads, 
Their future kids, but the law says that the natural adds. 

We’re working on building the robotic-man assistant, 
For the home where parents are not ambivalent.
