Haikus For High-Fools

I have no problem 
With the season of winter 
Or the snow it brings. 

Nor will I look down 
On recreational brown, 
The killer of pain. 

That would make me fake, 
A hypocrite, a high-fool 
Writing a haiku 

Fun is never free. 
Habits can be expensive, 
Please take it from me. 

Have moderation 
& set your priorities. 
Who am I kidding? 

Read these & be warned. 
Have all the fun you deserve, 
& don't be consumed 

For this can affect 
All those who dwell in your home, 
The ones that love you.
