A Concussed Minnow Swims On By

The OJ spilled onto the floor
With varmints planning to explore.
Uh oh, the bees are loose!
Attracted to the orange juice.

Say "hello!" to all the racket
Of the buzzing yellow jacket.
If you snooze, you may get stung
Avoid the booze, so you stay sprung.

Be lithe and nimble, quick and spry,
A concussed minnow swimming by!
Without your thumb placed on the scale.
You may just wind up dumb and pale

If you have an allergy,
A sting could sap your salary.
So flee and keep yourself at bay,
Make sure to lock your pay away.

When finally you're in the clear,
Have faced your demons and your fear,
Take a fat hit of some herb
And sit down on a comfy curb.

A joint, a pipe, an apple bong,
Don't matter, try to inhale long.
Soon the past will be the past.
Our fountain youth just doesn't last.
