stoners and babies

A show
becomes so much more.
Songs that teach tolerance:
a laugh.
A huggable monster:
a trip.
A lesson learned:
an afternoon soon forgotten.

And when we age
a little more,
and have our own,
we work hard,
and pray to whomever
will listen
that they don't
turn out
the way we did.

So my daughter loves Yo Gabba Gabba, and I don't mind it, but I think that if I still smoked weed I would love it.

I laughed when I read this one because it's so true. Some friends of mine just had a kid and they threw on Baby Einstein for him. We all started commenting on how it was the perfect stoner video.

I like how the poem indicts the speaker as a stoner since he doesn't want the baby to be like he was. The first stanza could be a stoner or a baby and sometimes they really are no different.
