Straight Flush

Humanity so loved the poppy
That it made a chemical copy
But God knows what we need
And it isn't more weed
Which seems to make everyone sloppy!

Cheech and Chong were never wrong! I’m sloppy with or without the weed, a faster sloppy without! I quit all the smoke in March, my brain thanks me! xomo

There are many sloppy people in the world today, maybe that is why we have so much disorder.

I do recall when teachers required students to sit at their desk with a straight back! Aloha!

You have a real gift for the limerick form, Rico. I always enjoy reading them.

Good one, Rico. I'm for medical marijuana, for those suffering whose meds have failed them--those gravely ill people who really need relief, not for those who just want to be potheads!! Janice

People crumble without their meds, so it is best not to rely on them for relief! Aloha!
