The DRUGS of US OLDER FOLKS!
The Parents who drugged me !
At my 50th high school reunion a friend asked me, 'Why didn't we have a drug problem when we were growing up?'
I replied that I had a drug problem when I was young:
I was drug to church on Sunday morning.
I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents,
told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with
respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the pastor.
I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out
with soap if I uttered a profanity.
I was drug out to pull weeds in mom or grandma's garden and
flower beds.
Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior
in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or
heroin, and if today's children had this kind of drug problem, the
USA would be a better place.
God bless the parents who drugged us.
