An Ode to Amoxicillin

Upon arriving home from school today,
I found my son in deep dismay.
His ear was hurting bad, it seemed,
And he hadn't ceased to scream (And scream and scream. For 45 minutes.)
Grandma had tried the usual tricks,
But none seemed to provide a fix.
I offered a drink in the favorite blue cup,
When he refused that, our options were up...
The clock was reading 10 til 4...
Our doctor soon would shut his door...
I grabbed the phone hoping to implore
the kind nurse to please accept one more!

She said come quick and get down there,
so we grabbed our blankies and honey bears!
Gresham wailed the entire ride
I hoped that when we got there it would subside...
Unfortunately (for all the other people in the waiting room)
he was still going strong.
At least our wait did not take long!

Gresham ear was very bad,
But sweet relief was to be had!
Amoxicillin saved the day!
And hail to our new reasonable prescription co-pay!

Owen got a prescription too,
Although his ear did not have as much goo...
Thanks to the doctor for checking him out,
so we don't have to go back tomorrow
(I'm out of rhymes, it's been a long day, and we were up until midnight with Owen last night!)
