The toking light is lit...


Poem Artwork

420 has arrived,
April 20th from which it is derived,
Get out those pipes,
And wrapping papers,
Do for yourselves some STILL illegal capers…

Get high,
Don’t ask why,
Enjoy your fly,
Floating in the sky…

You can be sure I will enjoy,
And I won’t to you be coy,
Be sure your pound is avoirdupois,
Because some can’t weigh,
By night or day.

I'll stick to uppers like my morning coffee and not nod off anymore than I normally do reading boring poems in the late afternoon.

The sooner all drugs are legal to better. Let everyone choose her own poison. Some may want to take arsenic as a high. The fewer of these distractions, time wasters, and detriments to physical and mental health we take the better.

I recall my uncle, a farmer who never smoked or drank and produced most of what he ate on the farm. It was only in later years that he started making varieties of wine. He was strong and healthy way into his 90s… Very inventive. Although he lost his wife very early, seemed happy being single with always new activities and gadgets--hobbies. Lived to be 102.

But druggies, even brilliant ones like Prince, seemed to suffer greatly and burn out early. Why is that?

Ditto what Michael said, and why has it taken so long to be legalized in places. John

I had to look up avoirdupois, and it's a weighty word to be sure. So by the oz, or by the gram, a happy 420 to all us heads.
