Research Poem

In the land of the free, 

A man named Walgreen came to be, 

Charles Rudolph, his name we know, 

A legend in the world of pharmacy to show. 

Born in Illinois, in '70s, 

He began from humble beginnings aplenty, 

Working at a local drugstore, learning the trade, 

Soon, he was ready to start his parade. 

In 1901, the first Walgreens store was born, 

A place where medicine and health were sworn, 

He was a self-made man, 

With hard work and determination to his plan, 

He was a leader in the industry, 

His pharmacy, a legacy for history, 

He cared about his employees too, 

Providing health insurance, a benefit anew, 

He believed in education, 

A scholarship program for the next generation, 

He left a lasting impact, 

In the world of pharmacy, his name is still intact. 

So, here’s to Charles Rudolph Walgreen, 

A man of vision and passion, we all agree 

His life and legacy, are an inspiration to all, 

A man who changed the world, standing tall.
