Toke

Up in smoke there goes your dreams and hopes in that cloud of smoke There goes your memory the instrument you once used to create wise quotes There goes the hustle you used to keep from being broke Now here comes the stress high blood pressure the cause of strokes Was it really worth it talking about that first toke Yeah it made you laugh but was it really a joke Is it funny having no money wishing for the sun cause you know it's supposed to be sunny Why they call you a dummy why life is crummy So I ask again was it really worth it talking about that first toke were you inhaled and as you exhaled watched it go up in smoke I'm talking about your dreams and hopes

Moderation is the key. So many lose it though. My own brother spent ten years in a haze. The only clue to when my husband was off home grown, was when he would become animated in the evenings, as opposed to docile.
