Legal Eyes It

No joke
Take toke

Sniff coke
No smoke

Most folk
Are woke

No time 
in poke*                                         *pokey (alt. poke) is an old term for jail

Just choke
Or croak

If we do not know what a pokey is, we aren't as old here as I thought we were. I am glad you gave a hint to the young'ns though. Some might not have known. I am enjoying a variety of types today as I read your new missives, Mr. Wolf.

True. Drugs always win. Hugs :) Ann

You're right. Drugs either ease your pain or tension, get you addicted, or even kill you. But they always win, as they're in control -- not you. Nicely said, Ann. :) gw

Just choke or croak - what a great tagline - yikes!

Yikes, stripes. Beechnut's got 'em. Maybe they'll put some cannabis in chewing gum too. What a sneaky little idea that is. :) gw

Footles are so tricky because of their brevity - you make it seem easy (I mean that as a compliment, by the way)

Actually, I could write footles all day; but who would read them?! LOL. Thanks, Michelle.

Hi Gershon, I agree with Jan, your string of footles are so clever. Great job:-) Alexis

Thank you so much, Jan. I got pretty lucky with that title. Don't know where that came from, truth be told. :) gw
