Too Stoned to Care, circa 1969


   Too stoned to care
     wild eyes and hair
   My friend and I dare
     to order four pizzas

   Where are your friends
     the manager inquired
   Oh, they’ll be here in a bit
     our tongues purebred liars  

   Well, we snarfed down the pizzas
     though ‘our friends’ never showed
   So, when we asked the proprietor
     how much we owed… 

   He told us $200 bucks
     ‘coz it’s just your good luck
   to meet up with a fellow sleaze
     who understands your ‘munchies’
       ~ and has already contacted the fuzz
