Birds' hands in bushes
make it difficult for them
to blow their noses.

To blow their noses
all at the same time, requires
nasal discipline.

It's a'frayed to speak
to it's mate who's tight, drawn and
twisted - all that hemp!


Twisted all that hemp,
boiled it up and made a hash
from the residue

and dreamed ignoble dreams of
villainy and vice.

a city near you.

grown going down the wrong route -
into the wrong hands.

Nice one

Into the wrong hands
went the contraband hashish -
prices hiked to hell

It's quiet on here without Barrie -
t..t..talking to myself
