Skip The Toaster Poem by Ima Ryma

An old couple in a drug store
Had questions for the pharmacist.
The couple were both 94.
They had a whole prescription list
Of pills that covered just about
Any and all bodily thing
That could go wrong or just give out.
The pharmacist was assuring
That their drug needs could all be filled.
And did they want to go ahead?
'Not right now, but we are so thrilled.'
'We're getting married, ' the man said,

'We have signed up this pharmacy, '
'For our wedding registry.'
