Mary Jane Vs Arthritis

DURING MY WORLDLY TRAVELS, I MET ARTHUR ITIS. 
   TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH HE WASN'T THE BRIGHTEST. 
   HIS GOAL IN LIFE IS DISTRIBUTING PAIN. 
   HE LOVES TO ACT UP DURING WINTER AND RAIN,

   I WAS ONCE AT A PARTY, HOSTED BY MR. GRIM REAPER.
   I WAS BOUNCING AROUND WHEN I SPOTTED A KEEPER.
   FASCINATINGLY ATTRACTIVE, WITH A SCIENTIFIC TYPE NAME.
   SHE SIMPLY PREFERRED, BEING CALLED MARY JANE.

   HER PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO DRIVE AWAY PAIN, 
   FROM THOSE PLAGUED WITH ARTHRITIS EVEN MENTALLY INSANE.
   HER WORK IS AMAZING, ESPECIALLY HER JELLS.
   QUITE THE RELIEF FOR THOSE LIVING IN HELL.

   SHE'S THE LIFE OF THE PARTY, WITH A BAD REPUTATION.
   IN THE MEDICAL WORLD, SHE'S KNOW ACROSS NATIONS.
   SO HERE WE STAND BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.
   AND ALL WE WANT IS ARTHRITIS BE GONE.

Powerfully penned, whilst I understand people say it has medicinal properties but it also has bad side effects and its still illegal on our little Island:-) hugs jan xx
