Keep Taking the Tablets!

 

 

The guidelines in the chemist’s pamphlet

Says you should ‘keep taking all the tablets’

The doctor in her diatribe

Said that’s what for you I have prescribed

 

So we must listen to what they say

And take the dose for each new day

And if we do, we are assured

That very soon we will be cured

 

Not only when we find we’re ill

We need to swallow a bitter pill

Life’s worldly trials sometimes enforce

A different kind of daily dose

 

But we must learn to persevere

With duties that may be quite austere

And try to shoulder all our cares

With smiles rather than with tears

 

And if with joy each day we face

Our problems we will soon replace

With blessings and not bitter pills

Thus coping with all our life’s ills
