Mary Jane Part 2

Bubba Kush and lemon haze
All these flavors I wanna blaze
Pass the grinder and my tray
Wake and bake to start the day 

Sour diesel and blue dream
A hybrid makes a good team
These two strains are so harmonic
Now let’s sit and burn the chronic

Grandaddy purp and wedding cake 
Puff puff pass for my own sake
Ride the high ‘cause I need a break
Munchies! Time for a chocolate shake 

Maui Wowie and cotton candy kush
Spark that baby up and light that bush
It doesn’t even matter what strain
The green goddess hides the pain 

Yes we love you Mary Jane 
As you flow right through my veins
“But she’s not good for your brain”
Ignorant people are such a drain

Inhale, exhale, drop the ash
Even when the weed is trash 
It doesn’t hurt to keep a stash
The only green as good as cash

I've smoked Panama Red

And some Panama Gold

I've smoked Panama bought

And some Panama sold

I've choked down all the Brown

Coughing up an Owie!

I've Sparked life from fat bowels

Of sweet Maui Wowie

No Ghanja is better

No Sensi is sweeter

Friggin' THC count

'Soff the friggin' meter!

Her Life as a Poem

Her big-boned spirit
was a fine-spun sprouting 
of prairie brome,
threaded through with engine oil.
Her home was a rickety refuge
for wayward cats.

Upon her tangled porch
poems grew in small pots
muddled with the stale air 
of Maui Wowie.

She wrote on the back of her mouth
with cigarette smoke.
Her poems were the rain-filled footprints,
of Jack Kerouac.

She had pronouns after her name.
Her fame became legendary
but only between the gaps in her thoughts.

Her love for possums and racoons

was almost romantic.

Some still write about her ghost
as if she still lived.

Premium Member Jolly Saint Nick

It was late Christmas Eve
When awakened by a noise
I was hoping it was Santa
With a hefty bag of toys

Peeking from my bedroom
Caught a vision really wild
Santa covered all in tinsel
And giggling like a child

He spun around the floor
As if nothing else to lose
Stripped down to his boxers
Wearing ballerina shoes

Still whirling like a dervish
I guess he couldn't see
After tripping on the sofa
He crashed into our tree

But still he kept on laughing
As though a great big joke
He then lit up his pipe
And blew out a cloud of smoke

There was such a pungent odor
I could tell it wasn't holly
It smelled like Maui Wowie
No wonder he's so jolly

Her Life As a Poem

She was big-boned.  Her spirit
a fine-spun sprouting of prairie brome
threaded through moss and engine block.
Her home was a pine and beatboard camp
for wayward cats.
She would discourse from her tangled porch
where poems grew in small pots
muddled with Ramen noodle and Maui Wowie.
Her life often vacationed to a studio apartment
on the east bank of her right eye.
She wrote on the back of her mouth
with cigarette smoke.
Her poems were the rain-filled footprints,
of Jack Kerouac.
She had pronouns before and after her name.
She wore a local fame, made legendary
by the gaps in her thoughts,
thoughts she shrewdly refused to fill in.
