Modern Addiction

Di-hydrogen monoxide:
I dearly need a fix.
My palms are slick and sweaty,
my tummy’s feeling sick.
I’m weak and can’t stop panting–
I’ve got to have some quick.
Di-hydrogen monoxide:
I need another fix.

Chemical dependence
is a noxious ugly thing;
with a noose around my neck
I’m a puppet on a string.
I tried to live without it
but my blood began to sing–
di-hydrogen monoxide
makes the dealer’s cashbox ring.

I was born addicted,
there’s no way that I can win.
Di-hydrogen monoxide
makes me float and spin.
I can’t escape its calling,
I see it everywhere.
Di-hydrogen monoxide–
I feel it in the air.

It can kill and it can cripple,
but we crave it, young and old,
di-hydrogen monoxide:
O God!
The last bottle was sold.

Nan (Pilgrim variety)

One bottle of di-hydrogen monoxide coming up to feed that addiction of yours!

I will ask Toe to move over to make room for you and Marge at the funny farm!

Who ever said that pilgrims didn't have a sense of humor?!?

Loves 'n Laughs,

Guess you better get a new dealer!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
