Snail Milk And Horsefly Juice Poem by Holly Gardner

I know you only want
snail milk and horsefly juice.
It's reasonable and true.
Oh perfection and safety.

We have all that here.
It's in the back.
Behind the cases of love and devotion
and selfless and loyal friendship.

The pink boxes? Oh yes, that's the special.
But I'm sorry sweetheart.
It's only to be purchased
on Sunday afternoon.

She says with a finger wag.
Ummm, no you will fail.
But fail we must sometimes
In search of the greater good.

Or what have you.
Ah! I have it here.
It's just the thing!
The cure for all that ails.

No, but it could help.
Don't you agree?
She stood up and brushed the dust from her ponytail.
Now will that be cash or card?
