Rumedicine

Rudimentary medicine Watson
That’s what I say
Cures the soul, the bones and
Somewhat more
Imbibe it
For maximum resolutions
Whatever ails you
This swagger shall bring 
Spirits to the soul
Yearning to the heart
A dance in your toes
If it won’t cure the sadness
No one but you shall know
Rumedicine my dear
No matter the cure soken
Your fears shall be less than smoken
For in the haze of the rumedicnes effect
You shall not have time at all to reflect
The final cure upon the weary suffering heart
Death

Vintage unknown


Note: Dedicated to the inventor of a new word, or two!

This was very cool and well written. The dialogue created images in my mind of the narrator and brought me right into this and left me wanting more. Nicely crafted.

You gave life to these familiar characters, I saw them and heard them as I often have. I was entertained and impressed with perfect dramatic fiction from your pen. Very much so! To me, the delivery was perfect. FAVing ... CayCay (I love new words, especially if we may spell them more than one way.)
