My Pill Box Says So

I remember when all I popped was a Flintstone vitamin.

-- quote from Poet

is it Friday already; my pill box says so how many Fridays have fallen into my palm. my nickname is Friday, and I pop my morning pills, interminably mindful of ginkgo-biloba and the rest; pillage of my youth. left for the book sale; to drop off books and pick up more from the library floor. ancient you must think. watch me amble row to row; I’m not a Spring chicken; I’m wintering in the sun; wandering; wondering if pills are squandered on me. oh yes, one more thing I have to…ahem…go

I wonder if they have a pill for that last - I would be interested in that. I guess it's been a year since I got my pill box. Who knows what I was taking and how often before that, and also, I know what day of the week it is now. funny and relatable.

As years go by, the number of pills consumed will steadily go up with most of us. Enjoyed your poem with a pinch of humor. Stay healthy , dear!

Good one Kim. Liked the humor in it. I am a retired pharmacist so I found the pill box reference funny.

What a creative write you have here. Today, there is a pill for everything. Do not now if that is a good thing. Have a fun day as you write away.................
