Mushroom

Mushrooms are quite peculiar things They live in damp dark places The ones round here are awfully ***** They make you see strange faces Colours grow and ebb and flow Whilst your body floats on air You feel as if your paralysed And you couldn’t really care The things you’ll see are a mystery Beasts in every kind of hue Take my advice, avoid these things No matter what you do But if one day you find yourself Just aching to consume Remember all that you’ve been told And prepare to meet your doom © John W Fenn 08-05-2009

They are not all edible so they say. I don't take a chance and try to gather wild ones. Of course, some people do the drug thing with mushrooms. Several years ago so teens nearly died in a town close to here from doing something with some wild mushrooms. Nicely written advice for all who will listen. Keep writing. Sara
