America, Land of My Dreams

The other day my young brother was giving me beans, He begged me non-stop to use my cool Levis jeans. So off my jeans and he goes to Amsterdam on a break, To indulge in a load of joint and the odd space cake. Six months later, America here I come, Saved my money, going to have loads of fun. New York, New York, more than it seems, The city I longed to see, been there only in my dreams. We land I head off to pick up by bag, And guess what, a little fluffy dog comes to me and its tail begins to wag. So I put down my sack, And give the dog a pat on the back. And guess what did I see, Two seven-foot custom brick houses walking to wards me. They lead me to a room and told me to take a perch, They said it would be just a routine search. In my cool Levis jeans was found a small silver ball, With enough joint to get high on, I started to bawl. They searched in places that caused excruciating pain, Put a red stamp in my passport and marched me back on the plane. So I thought I would share with you my trip to my dreamland, The place I did not see because I have been banned. But I did get some from America you see I walked like a cowboy for three weeks after they searched me. (It's in the Jeans Contest)

WOWWW!! How clever and original, Sidney. Couldn't get that smell off the jeans and having customs find the joint -- Egad. Hope this never happens to you, but I sure enjoyed reading it. Would have liked to see your entry rank much higher. Congratulations. Love, Carolyn
