If I had the wings of an eagle,
Or maybe the ears of a beagle,
Perhaps I could fly
But then I'd get high,
And someone would make it illegal.

Author's Note: Please take the subtitle to heart. This is not a political statement, it's simply a little bit of fun with rhyme and meter. (I neither condone nor condemn the use of recreational plants.) I did, however, spend my high school days in the 70's. More importantly, I LOVE limericks, and I enjoy creating them with the "proper" structure. That's going to be a debated topic here. I'll stick with the form of the masters. Kudos to Lea Springer for this post: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/rules-for-writing-limericks

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
