Pills And Dills
There are pills for countless ills
and ease for grim diseases
There are pills for wintry chills
and ease for raspy sneezes
There are hills for dogged wills
and lees for object freezes
There are hills for winding rills
and lees for gentle breezes
There are bills for rubbish fills
and keys for city squeezes
There are bills for tanker spills
and keys for aqua tweezes
There are skills for many thrills
and tease for nasty geezers
There are skills for stylish frills
and tease for lusty pleasers
There are tills for byway kills
and teas for meaty seizes
There are tills for Jewish dills
and teas for tasty cheeses
