Alchemist's Receipt
I will not take the blame for
any atrocities
my curiosities
may commit against you.
You told me you required
a potion, or a few
an elixir, or two,
here's what I've brought for you.
This first red potion will do
it will heal your damage,
even if you’re ravaged.
With magic, it’s imbued.
The second, a blue mixture
a mix that makes you sleep,
a slumber that's so deep,
You'll be out until noon.
Next is a strange elixir:
green and made of venom,
keep it clear of vellum,
it will eat it clear through.
And the next I have with me
is a dark purple flask
don't dump it in the cask
lest' you'll turn the wine blue.
And next, I’ve got a rare gem
a glowing white tonic,
to heal you of chronic
pain with a swallow or two.
Here is a real concoction.
This one is a deep black.
Don't store it in your sack,
or it will surely spew.
Next, I have this yellow one,
a decanter of wine,
used to make scales shine
like a sheen of fresh dew.
And here is a fine mixture.
It's a sparkling pink
drink that makes you think,
clearer than you're used to.
At last we meet the end of
this long alchemist's list.
Brews from the willow witch,
hand-crafted just for you.
There's one for every color
in the rainbows above.
For everyone you love,
I'll be sure to send two.
