Tonic Poem by Oleg Vorobyov

Feel like hell? - Explode! - Ironic? -
It is best plethoric tonic!
Get eruption on a lease
Would be a downpour release!
No outlet for a feeling
Looks like own fuel stealing!
Curbed, confined, pent up or punctured! -
Unrelieved souls are at a juncture!
To fulfill life, cap-a-pie
One should be. The recipe
Of the vital racy tonic
Is prosaic, nor canonic:

Take a pinch of tittering;
Boisterous capering, a ring;
Jolly wondering apace;
Friendly patting and embrace;
Skein of mashed remembrance;
Slim yet hope-giving chance;
"I-don't-care-a-damn" potion, -
Boil on an open fire "emotion" -

So, the tonic will be a squash,
Bracing, spirited! Wow! Gosh!
