Cannabis

I remember a spicy, jungle-y smell.
Lots of associations by now.
Do tell!
I heard the recess bell
ring before I woke on the commode.
The nurse applied smelling
salts to my nose. My blood pressure fell
because the madelaine made my head implode.
So I’ll tell
about when my tooth received the drill.
I was as cooperative as a cow
because of a sleepy nitrous smell,
and I bore the pain quite well,
my get-along transposed into a different mode.
I’ll tell
about a gorgeous French girl
who married me and took me on the road.
Only a remembered spicy, jungle-y smell
remains to tell.
