An Adage

I was pondering the adage
"a rolling stone gathers no moss."
If that is true would rolling moss
be 'street legal?' Or possession of a
controlled substance?
It is just a thought!

It brings to the forefront another adage.
"moss always grows on the 
north side of the tree."

I can see a couple of cronies walking
in the woods. One asks the other,
"what happened to the north side
of the tree?"

The other answers, "you know what
happened to the north side of the 
tree as well as I do, we smoked it!"

Thanks, again! I would gladly proclaim you the King. I reread that little thing I wrote the next night and pondered whether it was a gift to have a seriously twisted mind, LOL. It is what it is. Until Later.

Thanks, so much, Jack. Yep, I was bored last night working the overnight. Tried finishing another poem and just had this weird thought. I am glad you thought it was a hoot! We will see you on here again. Be Blessed.
