Hazy Days In Colorado

Hazy Days in Colorado

By Elton Camp

So many are now buying out there
There’s a haze of smoke in the air

Those who desire to get high
Just breathing, they should try

So many bought a joint to smoke
That innocent ones began to choke

“Oh, man, I’m beginning to fly”
Was the oft-heard, delighted cry

Sales taxes into city coffers flow
The mayor’s heart begins to glow

The police have got a big relief
Pot now legal, they’ll nab a thief

The preacher also will win
Now there is one less sin

If Colorado passes the pot test, 
How far behind will be the rest?

Statistics improve, that’s no surprise
If a state proceeds to decriminalize

Now, since this trend did begin
What’ll be the next former sin?
