Failed the Drug Test…(not what you think, even from me…)

 

Couldn’t pass if I stopped for a year,

My follicles still will show my usage I fear,

The blood stream does flow uphill,

Against that of the drugs I did take by pill…

 

Tested positive for coke,

Although I do like that of the cherry variety,

They didn’t test to see if I did take a toke,

Nor did they test for cholesterol from eating the yoke…

 

Guess I will have to now work for Coke,

My job with Pepsi now a terrible joke,

The way they talked they wanted to hang me from the nearest oak,

At least I will still have a job and not become quite broke…

Hey, tell that guy, Jack, up there, not to worry... with that butt crack he's got goin' for him, there's always a job in plumbing or maintenance for him. Plus: this piece proves that a reader can find great worth in the writing, with no clue to its meaning! (sigh) hehe... katy xox. p.s. email me? inquiring minds want to understand... so do I! LOL.

Very clever, as only you can do, Ed. You never fail to make me smile. Happy Thanksgiving to you. I am already thinking of that great feast. I will probably be drinking Coke with dinner, I sure hope it won't blow my testing at work. *S*
Take care,
Sherry
