The News In Poetry Day 25: Experimenting With Drugs

I have the greatest respect for Professor David Nutt.
It’s tough being an expert in a field in which there are a lot of preconceived “right” and “wrong” answers.
I do wonder what the legislators think is going on in his lab, though.

I have reason to believe
That the chemical psicobilin
Commonly found in
So called ‘magic mushrooms’
May have applications
In combatting
Medication-resistant
Depression.

I mean
I’m happy,
The mushrooms are happy,
Mister Test Tube is very very happy…

I have reason to believe
That the beautiful sight of rainbows
Commonly found in
Souls of magic unicorns
May have applications
In cuddling
Everyone resistant
To heaven.
