My summer vacations were going on,
And I wanted to do something cool.
After all, I was totally free,
As I didn’t have to go to school.

I thought and thought what to do,
Just then, a brilliant idea struck my mind.
I went to the kitchen and took out a bowl,
And I collected whatever I could find.

I went to the Science lab and to the bedroom,
And emptied Mum’s bottle of perfume.
I went to the bathroom and picked up all I could,
My marvelous idea was indeed very good!

I went to the storeroom, and lo and behold!
There were amazing items, both new and old.
Now, I needed to take all items, big and small,
Take the bowl, put them in, and mix them all.

You know, I was very short and fat,
And all my friends teased me for that.
So I would make a medicine,
Which would make me tall and thin.

I wondered what the product would be,
So I started off with some green tea.
On top of it, I added some ice,
Then some pepper and a little spice.

Then some oregano, salt and sugar,
Now all I had to do, was to stir.
Then some chilly and tomato sauce,
Ah! How good my medicine was!

Now for some water and coffee,
Then some chocolates and toffee.
I put some wheat and then some rice.
Ah! It was going to be so nice!

I smiled and laughed, “He, he, he!”
Now time for something more deadly!
I then put some toothpaste.
Ah! How good would it taste!

I plucked my hair and put it in,
On my face, there was a grin.
I then mixed my Granny’s pill,
And the old restaurant’s bill.

I put some insects, big and small,
And then some dust from the wall.
But still, it was not enough,
I needed to add some more stuff.

How about my dog’s hair?
Or my new red underwear?
Or my pet fish Goldie’s fin?
I smiled and put them all in.

Then from my hair I plucked some lice,
I put them in, and then some mice.
Then I added some waste from the bin,
This was going to be a deadly medicine!

I put my cat Meow Meow’s fur,
And then one dead spider!
Then I spat into the bowl,
And then mixed some charcoal.

Then in the bowl, went my fart,
I think we can miss this part.
Now the potions from the lab,
I mixed them up and gave a dab.

Suddenly an explosion took place,
It blackened my whole little face.
I put all the other things as well,
And eww! What was that smell?

My medicine was all stinky and dark,
So I put the paint, I had found in the park.
Now it was all blue and pink,
It was bright, but it did stink.

So I added Mum’s perfume to it,
Now it didn’t stink, not one bit!
I said to myself, “Ah! What fun!
The medicine is finally done!”

So I put some of it in a cup,
And drank all of it in one gulp.
But it wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be,
And now something was happening to me.

My eyes were red and my face was green,
It was something that I had never seen.
My ears were purple and my nose was blue,
Did I have diarrhea, or perhaps flu?

Then my hair began to fall,
And my eyes became small,
My head began to turn,
And even my little eyes spun.

Now I had got no hair,
But there were pimples everywhere!
I didn’t like it, it wasn’t nice.
I fell down and closed my eyes.

I woke up after some time in a hospital bed,
Even now, my face was green and my eyes were red.
I had thought that the medicine would make me strong,
But now I realized that I was totally wrong.

I stayed in the hospital for many a day,
And at last, they sent me away.
Then I thought, “I would use my invention,
As a super powerful weapon!”

One day, at my home, there was a theft,
But without doing anything, the poor thief left.
I had kept my medicine,
On the shelf, near the bin.

On a paper I had written:
“ONE MILLION DOLLARS COFFEE, ALL BLUE AND PINK,
WHATEVER HAPPENS, DO NOT DRINK!”
He put some of it in a cup,
And drank all of it in one gulp.

You can guess what happened to the man,
He was caught; the police took him in their van.
I got him imprisoned without a sword or a gun,
And this was possible because of my great invention.
