A Poem ~~ Friday’s Hunt v1.23-- "W" is for ...
(1) The letter "W" is for Wickett's Remedy:
A book by Myla Goldberg telling of a young medical student whose
marriage went sort of caplooey, especially until the begging of WWI when his
wife became preoccupied by becoming a nurse.
Wickett, the young medical
student, went off the deep end by dropping out of med school and becoming a
medicine man. He invented his tonic and
called it Wickett's Remedy, which became
a magic cure-all for many ails.
Unfortunately not for their rocky marriage. I have not read the book but do have it on my reading list.
In my spine poem* below I used "Wickett's Remedy" for a subtitle, but more
importantly as a first line legal remedy for a bad person Caught up in his
misdeeds.
The Garden of Evil;
Wickett's Remedy
.
Wickett's Remedy

Today I am linked with
at The Imaginary Garden with Real Toads,
*Spine Poem":
A poem composed of book titles, mine are
generally accompanied by a picture of them stacked up in order. I then leave the stack on a shelf or table
in the library. I doubt that many who see this will appreciate it one bit as a
poem. Sometimes they aren't much.
