Just in case!

Just in case!

So in go your prescription pills

And packed are all of mine,

We've accrued so many more

Between us over time!

One hundred mg of these

Marked out on this day;

Twenty five ml of that

To be taken – or so you say!

Any room for flip flops

Between the hormone cream?

And the tablets for BP

The therapy for our regime.

Uppers, downers, inners outers
We need to get them packed
And something for our feet
In case they start to crack.

Now don't forget the eye mask -

And the drops to drip in!

Some paracetamol for ear ache

And tablets of antihistamine.

Mozzie repellent, emollient

Anti – D’s and Sterile wipes!

Find some room for sunscreen -

Amid plug-ins to stop more bites!

Now here's that stuff that aids digestion

For different kinds of our ingestion

Must pack something for indigestion;

Every year - without question.

The medicine containing vitamin C,

Effervescent for calcium deficiency,

Plastic shoes to crush sand fleas.

Glasses worn to read and sight-see.

And the suppositories - just in case

I feel the need or get caught short!

Any more room in the luggage?

Don’t want problems at the airport.

Now earplugs – they are a must!

Olive oil for excess wax,

Packed in the other case, I trust

Am hoping now we’re packed!

So while going through customs,

There are things I'd rather not disclose.

But we had to buy another case

To take all our holiday clothes.....!
