Little Pills Where Goeth Thou?

by Ester Stout

We take pink pills for old arthritis
and green ones, perhaps, for the heart.
A blue one because you are dizzy
hope the stomach can tell them apart.

A white pill controls the blood pressure;
a red one helps soften the stool;
A yellow one calms you down greatly
so you won't be acting the fool.

There are two-toned, and gray and brown pills
for relief from head-aches and gout,
Diabetes, ulcers …
