Weed

I love weed; Afghan Red to be precise
It is my favourite illegal vice
I do it in the bath and in the hall
I smoke it in summer and right through fall

I smoke in class and in canteen
I smoke when cops are on the scene,
I light up when in academic gown, 
a practice that made my former
Wife frown

And on the bus it is a hoot, to fill the
Air with devil’s suit; to draw it in 
And keep it down, is much preferred
On trip through town

So if you feel life’s closing in, forget
The doctor or the gin, it’s weed that 
Makes the world go round, its soothing
Pleasure…it has no measure... this
wicked vice, I'll always treasure

Someone said it! Good for you - I enjoyed it very much, reminded me of Paul McCartney when he sang, "I smoke a joint before I smoke a joint." Something like that, I heard him sing it with a Reggie (sp?) performer once. Congratulations on your win ... CayCay

I could write about my last toke many years ago, Peter, but you wouldn't want to read about a blinding headache. May as well have smoked a compost bin. Cool write, man.Regards, Viv
