“The Roller Trip by Stewart Stafford
A psychedelic Rolls-Royce ride,
Lennons and pals giggle inside,
Chauffeur whistles as secrets slip,
Hourglass liquid lets sentience rip.
Supplied narcotics set minds ablaze,
Looping the loop in a magenta haze:
"Ladies & Germs, to a scene obscene!
Set sail to ecstasy we've never seen!"
Wheels whirled wild in a swirling blur,
Yokels mouth breathe where cows concur,
Red light flare, fans storm captive glass,
Mary Jane and Lucy on laughing gas.
Below the speed limit, warp speed fast,
Canary oil slides on a ghost ship's mast,
Paisley spermatozoa in jigging fright,
Tumbling back to earth as day flipped night.
