Just like it controls ants…

What do they taste like, some kind a’ treat?
How many hippies can this monster eat?
It ate Stills and Nash before they could shout
And then it chewed on David Crosby but it spit him out

Dave & I have a lot in common.

I guess in this modern era they use a spokesperson, apparently some guy named “The Lorax.”

Stoner? That’s only a bad thing when you obsess over it. Smoking a little dope every now and then doesn’t hurt anyone… so I’m told.

I found this out when tripping on psilocybin in a forest. Sitting at the base of a tree, my hands and legs became rooted into the ground. In my mind I could clearly feel them extending from root to root, tree to tree. It seemed like a season had passed. I have never been quite the same since. I’m relating this from a friend.
