High Altitude

Nancy's Notes 🖊️♬

Laughing Along With A Limerick.
The prompt word is “weed”.

Image by Me & Grok

A fellow who smoked lots of weed
Decided to plant a new seed;
It grew to the sky
And he started to fly
At a truly remarkable speed!

He drifted past clouds in the blue
With nothing in particular to do
He waved at a bird
And it seemed quite absurd
When he shared a quick snack with it, too!

This is “Eight Miles High” by The Byrds

    1. I’m very pleased to know that, Christian! It was great fun creating this limerick. The Byrds have long been a favorite act of mine. We saw them in 1970 at the Fillmore East; they played an extended version of “Eight Miles High’ which was perfect for the audience at the Fillmore. We have such great memories of that place!

  4. My nephew is a big fan of Reggae music, and he is always toking on something. His birthday is coming up and I got him a card, but I wanted to ask you if I could write your poem on the inside of the card, as I think he would enjoy that, Nancy.
