Jermaine the Joker
One of my favorite practical jokes
Was replacing people’s drugs with sugar
Or coffee grounds
Or flour
Or whatever I could find that looked like their drug of choice
Typically coke or heroin
Until a dear friend passed away
After one of my practical jokes went sideways
I hadn’t replaced enough of his heroin
With bleach
To save his life
Drugs are no laughing matter
