I do not want to take
This icky cough syrup.
It makes me gag.
They tried to make it taste like grape
(I know 'cuz I can smell it)
But they failed.
I do not want to drink
Another teaspoon of this
Supposedly grape-flavored syrup.
But, alas, I must
Because I want to get well,
And I will despite this blechy cough syrup.
