At the close of day,
When the joys of the day fade away
And the mem’ries sweet
Of the days repeat,
In our dreams they creep,
As we sleep…sleep…sleep

A weed among the plants we find
That hurts the body and the mind,
Yet in the way of self-abuse,
We see it constantly in use.
Unpleasant to the smell and taste
Yet men for it their money waste;
The reason why I scare can tell
For none at first do like it well.
Some do it chew and some it smoke
Whilst others [...]
