3 in a row.

After playing outside and exploring her terrain my cat comes inside smelling like bacon. I don't know what it is that causes this, maybe the scent of her food mixed with the dirt on her fur, but whatever it is, she undoubtedly smells like bacon.
My friend Joe came into the shop today to show me a poem he had written. Mischief that inhabits his eyes was pouring into the room and with a smile he had me read the following poem he wrote for a class.

"Drug Use and Its Advantages and Disadvantages, Death being One Adverse Side Effect" By Joseph Mikler...


Hypnotic sedatives, barbiturates,
Consumed for peers, for pressure, fun, or fear
Have these adverse effects with opiates
Especially if taken after beer.

The symptoms vary but they do include:
Anxiety, some pressure in the chest,
Slurred speech, and elevated moods,
Internal bleeding, cardiac arrest.

But one advantage
tempts us to risk these frights,
Above dopamine, endorphins' bloom,
And serotonin-psychotropic heights,
To hazard hallucination and a tomb:

Though not desirable to make one wise,
at least it makes on dance well, in his own eyes.
