Here's a reminder that the medicine cabinet in the bathroom is not the best place to keep pharmaceuticals. Instead, carefully choose a spot that's cool, dry, dark, and safely out of the reach of small hands or paws:
Medicine cabinet on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all,
Set behind your silvered glass,
Waiting mute with hopes to pass.
Pray these meds will take their flight,
Leaving rooms oft bathed in light.
Let them pose where dry not moist;
Cool, aloof, and safe by hoist.

Apparently, the correct usage of neither nor and either or can be tricky in some cases, and applying the rule of having the verb match the closest noun may feel uncomfortable.
When "either or" and "neither nor”
Meet subjects who implore,
The second subject through the door
Is given favor more.

The word awhile is an adverb that is frequently misused, confused with the noun while.
The Benefit of Whiling:
A while ago, I stopped awhile
To while away the day.
And then at rest, 'twas but a while,
A smile had come to stay.

Who would have thought there could be anything grammatically interesting about Athlete's Foot? Well, check it out:
Though athletes' feet may wish to run,
One's Athlete’s Foot cares neither way;
A cozy room away from sun,
Some moisture, too, and it may stay.
