Paul's hey-day
Ol' Paul's hey-day
Life was so swell
Though sadly, all was not well
When chased by the drug-squad
Fleeing like a startled gazelle
With amazing agility
He had such ability.
His emotions feeling rather unwell
When "pimped" by his best pal, he thought:
"What the hell!"
Lately his life's much more peaceful
No more taking drugs by the shovelful.

Sorry for taking so long. I live in the semi-desert without internet!
Thanks Shaunda and BDOT for the comments! I can see you are both quite serious and busy poets!

The poem makes it seem like Paul is still taking drugs, just "not by the shovelful." Is that correct? You display deep empathy in this poem, and you have a fine ability to rhyme. A couple rhymes seem a bit forced, though, like "rather unwell." You are a talented poet. Thank you for sharing this with me. Please (Oh, please) keep on penning, poet friend.

ag I only do it for fun and do not take myself serious. Old Paul stopped mandrax and LSD over 3 decades ago. he only smokes the green leaf once in a while. He is one of the greatest poets around but faded into total obscurity.i thank youfor your positive critisism.

Ah, what joy!
Thank you for this wonderful response.
Agree with the comment of forced rhyme - must improve.
You are so kind, thanks again.
