You can't fool a fool

I woke up one morning in bed
a dream still clear in my head
Reached for my Dictaphone
don’t want to be alone
So I talked to myself instead

The weed was making me high
I reached right up to the sky
Pulled down a plane
put it back up again
I don't need wings to fly

I had an idea or two
in order to think them through
Grabbed paper and Pen
you never know when
Ridiculous may come true

The bottle was doing me good
doctor had said that it should
Might know by my grin
I had filled it with gin
The other stuff tasted like blood

Certified sectioned and chained
or was I just playing the game
Life is so funny
lots of free money
Means everyone else is insane

I now drink Cognac not Meth
proof till my very last breath
You can't fool a fool
no matter whose rule
You can only bore them to Death

------
If you listen to me long enough I can lower your IQ

I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I've got most of it left.

I like the construction of this, a linear, narrative progression through limericks.

You choose to capitalize words that might want to stay in lower-case: dictaphone, pen, cognac, meth, death.

Death with a capital "d" actually works in this. But if gin is lower-case, then so should cognac be. As far as grabbing paper and Pen, I'm getting a visual of whom you grabbed with the paper, rather than what you grabbed.

This piece gets better the more (this) reader reads.

Thhank you!

.Here Ma'am
Hi Lucie

Thanks so much for this and other comments

I was always in awe of school mates who were able to get the their work back from the teacher without any red pen marks and a full ten out of ten.

I assumed it was their natural ability, most of the stuff was done in classroom in the same space of time (often they finished earlier than me)and teacher could understand their ....stuff. Regardless of the "Must Try Harder" I was a bit of a plodder and wouldn't stop till the Bell Rang.

Now I can cheat..... well maybe not cheat as such but it matters not how much or how little time, why, where, or when I complete (or almost complete haha) stuff. I have auto spell check and the PC underlines in red grammatical errors which somehow I often ignore....PC never grades my work or gives me gold stars though.

It's good to know that some humans can understand what I write
