Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Fancy Jacket and Hat

What does Grass do
  When winter comes to town
Does it shiver its timbers
  Does it freeze underground

Why no! Grass is first-class
  How else could it last
Through snowfalls so deep
  No sunlight dare seep...

Grass dons fancy jacket and hat
  Wad of bills and all that
Bows to winter's autocrat ~
  Who adjusts the thermostat

Gershon Wolf February 27, 2021 at 6:58 PM Wads of bills is spot-on: $1 billion (almost) in marijuana sales in 2020, first full year of legal sales. (I wonder how much more was sold 'on the street,' without the inconvenience of having to pay taxes for 'who-knows-what's-really-in-that-bag?! ~ Wheeler-Dealer

Caren Krutsinger February 17, 2021 at 7:29 PM Grass is first class andIwelcome seeing her again Gershon. Gershon Wolf February 27, 2021 at 6:54 PM Grass is first class. You are so right. In Illinois, marijuana stores did almost $1 billion (!) in sales last year. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or just toke up and drift off into the sunset, stoned forever after... What a country!
