Cough Remedies
Psychological means are not enough
when you have a persistent cough.
If you try to will it to stop,
you'll flip your lid or your top.
I wouldn't recommend a drop. It
won't work and syrup won't stop it,
unless its ingredient is codeine.
Then, you'll sleep well if you know what I mean.

Remedies
Written By: D. Collins
When your head is banging like a deep, bass drum.
Mince a garlic clove and butter on a hot dog bun.
Any strain that wants to call itself athlete foot.
Will bow down to the power found in Clorox bleach.
Two aspirin before sleeping after a night on the town.
Guarantees we are peaking when it's

Find New Remedies To Rescue
Constantly check your mind and bring changes
Never allow the same rule to stay there forever
Bring new ideas and alter your plans to better
A broad invitation to new thoughts ever helps
Find out new ways to do the same old job
Make improvements as far as possible
Definitely new remedies are lying hidden
Only when we pursue we can locate

Groan Mornings and Aleve, Sometimes
We always have enough choice
When a new day begins
To complain of pain, or give voice
To hope, mother that wins?
I did not give in to Mr. Groan
In USA I bought ALEVE (when pain had grown)
Magic in a pill, borrowed from Aspirin
I now have tonic drops in milk (south African)
FACT: the tonic told me by WENDOLENE is:

Reminders As Remedies
you remind me that i matter
that means oh so much
there are teardrops falling when you are sleeping
you remind me that i do inspire
you have no idea how much i longed for that
when you are not looking, there are times when i am weeping
you remind me that i am truly cared for
i have massive amounts of

Ethel's Remedies
Her name was Ethel....(yes, like the gasoline)
She smelled of menthol...(much like Vick's Vaseline)
A long time neighbor, from down the lane
She was married twice...(or was it thrice?)...
A widowed lady, we knew her well
A bit disgruntled, and a bit dismantled
A bit unusual.....a bit disturbed
and most the time, seemed quite perturbed!!
And as a kid....of her, I feared!
So scared

There Are Some Remedies Worse Than the Disease
They say the cure for loneliness
Is just to find a friend
But what if that friend
Was a dead end?
The times enjoyed
Throughout the years
Come to a halt
As the time slows
The ticking comes to a close
Then it slowly comes back
The thoughts of it all
Just like a sloth, they crawl
Haunting.
Panic.
The rush.
Faster.
Go.
Run to his aid.
Reach out and feel
the beating heart

If I ever discover the essence of happiness
I am going to bottle it
just like a Bach flower remedy
happiness in little brown bottles with yellow labels
Then I’ll stand on street corners
handing out free samples
People would take it home
pouring it into an incense burner
and the fragrance of happiness
will fill their homes
they will be reminded
