Notes About The Poem

The Stoner Collaboration Contest
Sponsor Charles Messina
 2nd Place

The Stoner

I was sitting on the corner, stoned 
When out of the blue, my dead aunt phoned 
How could this be, she rests in peace 
Right beside my loving niece
 
I answered the phone, and my auntie said 
"I know you think that I am dead"  
"I'm alive"- my auntie moaned 
Or- could it be that you're just- "Stoned" by Charles Messina 

Niece Alice bakes brownies with magic herbs                        
She uses rich chocolate, and flour, two thirds
Before Auntie June gets out of bed                                             
Alice feeds the cat and minds his head                                                                       

She shared a snack and laugh with you
And now you’re happy and Auntie June is too
When auntie asks why your eyes grow and grow
You say “Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know”

Congratulations on your winning placement in my contest! I Am Anaya August 9, 2026 at 6:32 PM Thank you for the placement, most fun I've had writing in a while Charlie.😂

Duke Beaufort June 17, 2026 at 11:26 AM Hi Anaya. This is a great topic…there are a lot of people who can relate. The picture says it all. Sending Chester Cat smiles and although I don’t use, I can understand why many do. I Am Anaya June 19, 2026 at 9:23 PM Lol. Just noticed , fixed... Duke Beaufort June 17, 2026 at 12:35 PM The software changes Cheshire to Chester….too funny! I Am Anaya June 17, 2026 at 11:46 AM Cheshire Cat loves his catnip! & so Alice minds his head as well. Lol. Wonder if poets caught that, as you did dear Duke. Ty for the read, the laugh, & most of all your smile. Blessings

Andrea Dietrich June 13, 2026 at 12:49 PM Hmmm is she using Mary Jane in those brownies too? That's what I think and I want one!! Good thinking for this contest. I really like the idea of this sponsor. I wrote my part. Just not posted it yet I Am Anaya June 17, 2026 at 11:49 AM There is Catnip for Cheshire Cat as well, Andrea. I'll check yours out. Thanks. :)

Mary Murphy June 10, 2026 at 5:42 PM Love this poem! Clever & Creative! I always love great rhymes and a dash of macabre. I Am Anaya June 10, 2026 at 7:30 PM Hi Mary, it's a collaboration meant for The Stoner contest, the last two stanzas being mine. Ty for reading & review! Blessings

CayCay Godwin June 10, 2026 at 3:11 PM The last line is a clever incorporation that I feel I should have seen coming considering her name. I wonder what percent of readers will recognize it. Charles seems the right age. I will enjoy writing for this contest. Alice minding 'his' head rather than 'her' head throws me unless the cat is male. Or maybe it's because I'm stoned and more focused on chocolate. I Am Anaya June 10, 2026 at 3:52 PM Haha, she minds everything & everyone's head, including Cheshire catnip, I went that route, pretty sure all have heard of the greatest song ever done..."White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, if not, they know now. Ty, sweet CayCay, glad you enjoyed. Blessings

Paige Hind June 9, 2026 at 9:16 PM haha - I have done a gummy once, and flipped out, LOL, never EVER going to do it or ANY even a legal thing, again :P I Am Anaya June 9, 2026 at 9:56 PM Deep thinkers are prone to buzz harder. Kush is much stronger then back in the day. Never say never, Paige. Glad you stepped in for a laugh! ,D

Paula Goldsmith June 9, 2026 at 3:43 PM I love this creative/fun "STONER" write. What a fun/colorful picture you have here. Great Last Line... Ask Her??? "Good Luck" We both did this fun contest.. Have a fun day writing away.......... I Am Anaya June 9, 2026 at 7:39 PM Ty, Paula, a funny poster Of Alice indeed! We appreciate good humorous art, it's Okay because it's medicinal for migraines!! You as well, good luck!
