Classic Poem

Do you wish to lead a healthy, happy life?
Be particular what furnishings you choose.
For there isn't any question
That these things affect digestion
And have much to do with biliousness and blues.

Old candlesticks are excellent for colds,
And pewter is a panacea for pain;
While a pretty taste in china
Has been known to undermine a
Settled tendency to water on the brain.

A highboy is invaluable for hives,
Or a lowboy if you're feeling rather low.
Colonial reproductions
Will allay internal ructions
And are splendid for a case of vertigo.

Old Chippendale is warranted for coughs,
And Heppelwhite is very good for nerves.
If your stomach is unstable
There is nothing like a table,
If it have the proper therapeutic curves.

Decorative therapeutics are the thing
If you happen to be feeling out of whack.
We are happy to assure you
That these things are bound to cure you,
For there's virtue in the smallest bric-à-brac.
