“Just a spoonful of sugar”
“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down”
No it dam well doesn’t I fret and I frown.. who ever wrote those words was downright delusional, misleading medicinal tastebuds making the belief blatantly illusional.. A colossal cupful of sugar wouldn’t do the trick for me as I try this method wholeheartedly.. “Yuk” that cough mixture doesn’t go down quick, it lingers on my tonsils making me feel sick
Tho I scoured the shelves in the medical section to find something to aid my throat infection.. each and every remedy would taste the very same with that awful chemically flavour, Oh what a shame.. that stuff has the worst tang ever, Its something I would get used to taking NEVER!! Its vulgar and vile, so repugnant and icky, with its nauseating nastiness thick and sticky..but whats the alternative if I won’t swallow a dose? have a throat like razor blades and that is gross
So reluctantly with one hand I hold my nose whilst the other hand holds a prescribed dose..I shove it in my gob and I take a swig, Oh my God that’s terrible..’What the frig’ but ‘Woohoo’ I’ve gone and done it I dance a jig.. well that wasn’t nice and such a pain but every four to five hours I’ve got to do it all again..dam and blast ‘Streptococcus toncilitis’ but it can easily manifest to ‘Gingivitis’.. so rollon when my throat feels right coz I’m coughing my guts up all thru the night

Jill, unfortunately, I couldn't comment on this one because of the picture. It's not that I don't like it, it just that I have a great deal of disdain for it.
LO(fre*king)L, Jillmeister.
Hilarious. You are loonier than a Bugs Bunny cartoon! But, as I've mentioned before, I enjoy that.
I have a surgical procedure to remove my taste buds each time I'm prescribed medicine, and then I have them surgically re-applied when I'm done with the dosage. It works pretty well. You should try it. Deal? Thanks.

Hahaha well I will try your remedy lol teehee J???
Thanks Jill.
I'll give you my doctor's name, and number, so you can call him. It's Dr. I.M. Crayzee, and he can be reached at 1-800-TONGUE. He's really a good doctor(despite the galoshes), and he loves tongues(he's married to one named Florence). Good luck!

Haha xx??
What a great poem. I laughed in the beginning after reading this line:
I could feel the narrator’s frustration with taking the medication and feeling so bad that it had to be done. I'm still smiling after reading this, but hoping you are not sick anymore. This is the most interestingly funny tale about illness that I've read on here.
Great job with the lyric/narrative. You have a wonderful format that I see in many of your poems. This one is different, the beginning sarcasm expressed, helped make looking at the illness with humor, verse the agony that is having a throat infection.
Great work Jill, 5 stars, all the way
to the moon!
Awww you have started my day
off with immense positivity Thank you Katina from the bottom of my old heart haha ❤️❤️❤️
