My Dr Seuss Version of Don'T Do Drugs

I will not do drugs here nor there I will not do drugs anywhere I will not smoke I'll say no to coke I will not snort I prefer to stay out of court Save your cash Don't buy hash Marijuana leads to the munchies You do not want to become a junkie You may start to steal Or even begin to deal Taking a toke Is no joke Don't move onto a bong Don't do drugs, stay strong It costs a lot of money And will leave you feeling ever so crummy A needle in your arm Can cause so much harm Hallucinations galore You'll keep craving more You may end up ever so close To being a victim of an overdose Oh how I wish You avoid this dish It's a recipe for disaster With no happily ever after Don't let kids tease your son For that surely won't be fun Name calling Is appalling Names like Doug On drugs Or perhaps Zach On crack Or my man Seth The creator of meth I can see the writing on the wall Drugs can be the most dangerous of all Stay as strong as you can If you need help I'll lend a hand So don't do that crack Cuz there's no turning back It's not cool Stay in school You'll start skipping dinner You'll get ever so thinner You'll want more and more So grateful you can't buy them at a store It will be tough And ever so rough But please don't give me a scare Do your best to hang in there Help is always near Just make someone aware A friend will always be there For someone they find ever so dear So the jist Of this twist Is there are people out there That really do care

Lori, what a clever, fun, and strong piece filled with good advice. Some say that prevention is all about persuasion, and your poem clearly shows how so many doors can close shut in your face if you start yielding to drugs. Dr. Seuss would be honored I'm sure that you chose to use his writing style:) Amitiés
