Today’s word is “flubdub” ... fluhb-duhb ... pretentious or show; airs. (Dictionary.com)
Entice
The charlatan would come to town,
With tonics wild in tow,
And flabbergast the masses,
With his magical new show.
His flim flam was outrageous,
His flubdub grandiose,
Before you knew it, you would give,
Hard-earned money for a dose.
Snake oil and elixirs,
Entertainment for good measure,
His promise of relief was sure,
His medicine a treasure.
Today in worlds medicinal,
Our chance for cure is better,
Just ignore the side-effects,
And follow your RX to the letter.
