HIPPIE JACK'S UNSMOKEABLE HASH
lyrics copyright © 2005 by Eben Brooks

Some hippies sing songs of biting political protest
How the government sucks, so don't trust anything that they say
But I'll sing a song of a dude that I met up in 'Frisco
Who tested the deepest of lungs all over the bay

It was Hippie Jack's unsmokeable hash
One mighty puff knocks you flat on your ash
It was Hippie Jack's unsmokeable hash

My roommate once tried a bowlful of Jack's oily black stuff
He seemed all right; he stopped moving, but that was okay
Seven days later, he still hadn't shifted position
But he's managed to eat all the food in the house anyway

This stuff is as black as the soul of Richard M. Nixon
As dense as the fruitcake you got last year from Aunt May
As potent as a man who mistook his Viagra for chicklets
Of Jack's, the worldliest tokers will most surely say

I hung with a dude who had lungs like the Carlsbad caverns
One half a lump put that toker right down on his rear
We watched every bone in his skeleton turn into jelly
And whatever gray matter he had ran out of his ears

I walked through a room filled with smoke from Jack's distillation
I didn't inhale, so I thought that I was okay
I awoke with a vision of making this country much cooler
And that's how I got to be President of the U.S. of A.

[ebenbrooks]

@pheenix42 Thank you. :)

[irikuchi1]

you know my aunt may and her fruit cakes? and was was your vision was it nothing but rock and hippie jacks?

[ebenbrooks]

@irikuchi1 Heh. Probably not the same Aunt May as I was thinking of, but I think every Aunt May's fruitcakes have more to do with rock than with cake, don't they? ;-)

[irikuchi1]

@ebenbrooks lol i guess i didn't really have an aunt may i was just messing around and i was wondering how does a man mistake viagra for chicklets?

[ebenbrooks]

@irikuchi1 You'd be surprised how often medicine is mistaken for candy...

[demonchildme]

@irikuchi1 There is some candy out there that's small with a hard-sugary coating. Pills much the same, I've seen Advil look like a discolored M&M...

[irikuchi1]

@ebenbrooks yeah true but really a giant marshmllow and a tiny pill really hard to mistake that even when your high

[ebenbrooks]

@irikuchi1 Heh. Dude, what? ;-) (And thanks.)
