ODE TO PHARMACISTS

People in pain can be cross as a rule.

However, the Pharmacist helps them keep their cool.

Always your friend, he often gives free advice.

Remember his service when you consider the price.

Many years he has trained before he could start

And more importantly, he's got a great big heart.

Certainly his is the most trusted profession,

It's your health that is his obsession.

So the next time you see him, give him a smile,

Treat him nicely, you'll get it back by a mile.

Surely, he'll keep you healthy, at least for a while!
