Grandma's Medicine Poem by Coreatha mccoy

We didn't go to the doctor for everything
Grandma had a medicine
it cured just about anything
grandmas medicine
you had a cough
you better go get grandma's medicine
your throat was soar,
that sap tea from the special tree
you already know
this is one of the others
but there's
another
when you was sick
she give that look
you know what you took
grandma's medicine
she whipped up that
hot tonic
honey, peppermint, and a Lil jack Daniel
she called it grandma's medicine
Now if your tummy had been stopped up
go get that castor oil
she say that do the trick
hah-aha
if you where congested
the brown paper bag
filled with hot Vick sab
she rub it on your chest
and say now go rest
grandma's medicine
You stepped on something and it didn't come out
that salt meat she said would surely get it out
grandma had a remedy for almost anything
i thank grandma
you know for that grandma's medicine
guess what
she passed along
from generation you know
her hot tonic and a lot of wisdom
we shall hold forever forever
so long
