Sincerely, Educated White Dudes

I’m not much of a gangster

And I’m not a street-smart guy

So can anyone enlighten me

How so much gets you high?

For example, bath salts

And keyboard cleaner cans

Made someone want to sniff them

And promptly earned their bans…

Who are the people purchasing

And sniffing random goods

To see if something in them

Makes them feel different moods?

And if it’s not trial and error

But some scientific knowledge

That tells you what’s worth selling

On the street to pay for college

Then why aren’t people using

This backroom chemical expertise

To make it so the methheads

Can unabashedly say “cheese”?

Street Wisdom, the New Hampshire Way

The hard drugs are named things

Like heroin and crack

And there are more I don’t know

‘Cause I’m white as a Mac.

Other drugs have names

Like Clopidogrel

So if you’re not sure if a drug’s “hard”

That’s one way to tell.

Hi Debbie!

If you were a prescription drug

I’d call you Trilambdakrip

Because the word is meaningless

Just like our relationship.

Side Effects Include Incontinence, Loss of Sleep, Mood Swings, And A Decrease In Bank Account Balances For 18+ Years

Is it just me or do baby names

Sound more and more like drugs?

Is Aaliyah or Grayson

Something one swallows or hugs?

Of Magdalen, Kavita,

Nunzio, and Tierneigh

Which are babies and which are options

To ask my doctor if its right for me?

There’s Allegra and Zahara,

Bahari and Alok,

Yet none of these has side-effects

According to my doc.

My hope is in the future

Parents go back so “Pam” and “Lee.”

That or RX companies

Make a drug named after me.
