Medicines From India

India’s thinkers are ahead of their time.
Making medicines out of manure from their bovine.
Urine too has a place of honor in their lab.
They use it in treatments, but please do not blab.

I would like to meet the brilliant thinker of the day.
Who decided poop and urine might be the way.
To cure some diseases – was this idea heaven-sent?
Or were they just lucky their mind was so bent?

Remember to wash your hands with urine three times a day. Cheaper than soap!

I read this and said to myself "what?" but it is in a reference book for students, so I have no reason to doubt because it was not published by FOX news.
