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
