Long Haired Man

Not Smoking a cigarette

Watched a man walk down the street,

Smoking an unlit cigarette,

Very mysterious,

What was he doing on his phone,

He was calling the afro police,

To come pick up his partners in crime,

Or maybe a friend to light his cancer stick for him,

Anything is possible when you have a mind like mine,

You should have seen him twitch when I said hello,

Paying half attention to what was not around him,

Like everyone else does,

Welcome to the 23rd century,

We have created for ourselves,

Ask me for more weird things to tell you and I will be happy to oblige.
