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

"Grass dons fancy jacket and hat Wad of bills and all that" Lovely grass!

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

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!
