A cool DARE Poem
Do drugs? Are you joking?
I'd rather be choking!
I'm saving my body for sports!
My father would KILL ME!
Just KEEP IT, don't bill me!
I've read all the latest reports!
Are YOU such a loser
A dope and a boozer?
Get lost and don't bother to call!
My head is not hollow!
I won't take a swallow!
No, NEVER, NOT ONCE, NOT AT ALL!!
Get high, like a rocket?
Your brain's in your pocket
And you've sent all your marbles to space,
If you think for a minute
That I'd dive right on in it,
Just by the blank stare on my face!
Do drugs, are you crazy?
I may be called lazy,
But I still have a functioning head!
Go spread your infection
Some other direction!
I'd rather go skiing instead!
"Do drugs!" are you stating?
I'd rather go skating
Than being so "cool" to pretend.
I'm NOT a "me-tooer,
Go swim in the SEWER,
'Cause I don't need YOU as a friend!
"Get stoned" are you saying!
I'd rather go playing
Some racquetball, tennis, or bowl
I'd rather be funning
Than constantly running
From the "narcs" and the highway patrol!
"A sip" are you bidding?
You've got ot be kidding!
I'll stick to my cola and pop!
You're very kindhearted,
But once I get started
Who knows if I ever could STOP!
Cocaine are you handing?
Your head is EXPANDING
If you think I am really that DUMB!
The fools, who have tried it
Are buried beside it,
So KEEP IT and suck on your thumb!
Buy drugs that you're selling?
I guess there's no telling
How BAD you are needing the dough!
To finance your habit
Go find Roger Rabbit,
'Cause all I will tell you is --- NO!
