Winter Care Package
This winter care package was made especially for you.
so you can be cared for all winter through
The hand cream will keep your skin from getting dry
as you stand outside gazing at the blue winter sky
the tissues are there in case you begin to sneeze
as you frolic in the snow, amid the cold winter breeze
the lip balm just in case your lips should chap
while curled up by the heater for your long winter nap
in case your blanket- not enough warmth does provide
a mug of hot chocolate will warm your insides.
Winter though beautiful has the longest night
so here is a candle, to bring you more light
and last but not least a teddy bear, faithful and true
to wish you good cheer and drive away those winter blues.
with this package comes out best wishes without fail
held together in a decorated pail

At the first sign of hot flashes eat the RED one.
Eat the ORANGE one to minimize depression.
The GREEN one calms your frustrations, when you want to be left alone.
If you feel a headache coming on eat the PURPLE one.
The BLUE one reduces bloating.
You can eat the "BROWN" ones ANYTIME!!
If all symptoms occur at the same time - Eat the WHOLE DAMN BAG!
