California has a habit of instituting knee jerk rules and regs based upon reverse wording, like the gas tax . Is the straw one of those?

Ban the Straw

Do you know why California banned the drinking straw,
Did you really think it was the use of plastic to outlaw,

How they’re made using fossil fuel is the strongest fear,
Escaping gases, tend to rise and cloud the atmosphere,

I won’t disagree with all the theories talked about,
It’s just not nice to speak of certain gases gittin out,

Hydrogen as a sulfide can really curl your toes,
When found in heavy volume anywhere near the nose,

Commonly gas is expelled by almost every mammal,
I strongly recommend staying up wind of a camel,

What’s this got to do with the big straw ban,
Believe it or not , the drinking straw is not the best for man,

You take in a shot of beautiful air, with every drinking slurp,
But the odds are a hundred to one against it coming out as a burp,

So get off the cow, blaming climate change, the facts are just not there,
There’s a stronger possibility, you get three guesses where.
