Ode to Pepto-Bismol
Oh, Pepto, Pepto, my friend Pepto-Bismol
How I am grateful for your wonderful workings
You are truly a good friend to missionaries
You are there to help when things get… well…
Despite obsessive hand-washing
Regardless of great care in what we eat and drink
That frail GI-system is always a target
South and south of the border
Such it is working with the poor
But you, Oh Pepto, are a constant friend
Your chalky-peppermint taste
That far-out florescent 60’s pink drink
Who could not love you?
Bismuth sub-salicylate
Always the large bottle
Thank you for your help
What would I do without you?
(take as directed on the label)
