Wild Wild Weird Wonderful


One time I got some coke that was real funky, wet and chunky, turned my nose into a rubber hose that couldn't find the end of a line--

 

Another time I got this:

 

A man after a snort

          looks up to the sky, exhorts

          "Wow . . .

          What a wild wild weird wonderful world it is!"

 

Another line

           up to the sky

           reply

           " . . . Indeed!"

 

"How sweet it is to be loved by you!"

           he sings

               to the corner of a bag

                 "How sweet it is to be loved by you,

                     by you,

                         by you"

 

 

That's the last time I ever did coke

I'd already learned my lesson about love . . .
