WORDS ! - - - More intoxicating than the HERBS !

many tho' would disagree - - - without the herbs, your mind's not free

so I re-think my phrase - - - OBVIOUSLY!

WORDS - - - are as intoxicating as the HERBS

But that's before we had the 'DO'

the 'Holy smoke', 'the witches brew'

Our minds went forth quite unrestricted

the old, the young & even those afflicted.

so I decide with great elation

to revise my former assertation.

I now know what I need to do

Just counter-pose the former two !

hence
HERBS - - - More intoxicating than the WORDS
