Notes About The Poem
Watched the trailer this morn of the recently released film "Magic Trip"... which very obviously influenced this write.  Just me living in the moment... Happy day!

Bad Trip

Magic bus curbed pranksters' zeal when
Misty's train track trip went rotten
Psychedelic metal feelin'

Magic bus curbed pranksters' zeal when
Groovy sparks of steel soared reelin'
All 'twas left was yellow cotton

Magic bus curbed pranksters' zeal when
Misty's train track trip went rotten
