A dopey little ditty.

 BURNOUT BOB

 

Burnout Bob smokes a lot of pot,

And he’s always high.

He never lets a bowl or joint,

Ever pass him by.

 

He grew up in the 70’s,

But doesn’t remember being there.

Burnout Bob’s a stoner,

And there were parties everywhere.

 

Burnout Bob’s a bit paranoid,

Concerned about his supply.

He suffers from nonarcophobia,

He’s afraid of not being high.

 

Michael D. Schafer

It was FUN getting high in the 60's. But it was NO fun coming back down to earth. Still, who likes spending their life in a toilet? Most rock stars stay high. Then when they cannot function anymore they have to kiss that lifestyle Good-bye. The other choice is to die. Yes, very sad but many choose to die. Bye-bye!

I've never once taken the "high" road, and I don't see any point in my beginning at this stage of the game. Some might make fun of what I just said, but we all have choices in this life. As for your poem, Michael, you always do a fine job. Your audience loves your sense of humor.

I must remember this one: "nonarcophobia"! I was just telling my husband that you have the funniest poetry. A reminder of his college days.
