Just Say No

A disgruntled hippy named Stan
once found himself locked in the can
he didn’t half pout
to find no way out
and blamed it, of course, on the man.

His girlfriend, a complete drama queen,
was looking decidedly green,
she’d swallowed some grass,
now had terrible gas
and drove everyone else from the scene.

The moral of this sorry tale,
though it may seem a little bit stale,
is to keep a spare key
where no one can see,
and tell your dealer no sale.
