'If you are old and have the shakes, <br />If all your bones are full of aches, <br />If you can hardly walk at all, <br />If living drives you up the wall, <br />If you're a grump and full of spite, <br />If you're a human parasite, <br />THEN WHAT YOU NEED IS WONKA–VITE! <br />Your eyes will shine, your hair will grow, <br />Your face and skin will start to glow, <br />Your rotten teeth will all drop out <br />And in their place new teeth will sprout. <br />Those rolls of fat around your hips <br />Will vanish, and your wrinkled lips <br />Will get so soft and rosy–pink <br />That all the boys will smile and wink <br />And whisper secretly that this <br />Is just the girl they want to kiss! <br />But wait! For that is not the most <br />Important thing of which to boast. <br />Good looks you'll have, we've told you so, <br />But looks aren't everything, you know. <br />Each pill, as well, to you will give <br />AN EXTRA TWENTY YEARS TO LIVE! <br />So come, old friends, and do what's right! <br />Let's make your lives as bright as bright! <br />Let's take a dose of this delight! <br />This heavenly magic dynamite! <br />You can't go wrong, you must go right! <br />IT'S WILLY WONKA'S WONKA–VITE!'<br /><br />Roald Dahl<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-are-old-and-have-the-shakes/
