It's the little old lady from Grassedena
Toke, granny. . . .
She's got a pretty little "flower bed that ain't gardenias

A dime bag and a half. Now how about "Granny's Thong"?

Not quite what I was expecting - nicely written :)

You make some good points about both sides of the medical cannabis debate. And using a tune from the guy who gave us "Rocky Mountain High". Very singable. Most issues are not pure right/wrong, black/white. You've covered the grey areas.

Thanks guys!

John: LOL at your comments. I thought about "Granny's Thong", but my muse came up blank. Go for it, and also the "Little Old Lady" idea, too.

Phil: Now you have curious as to what you were expecting.

Patrick: I'm glad you caught the not-so-obvious connection with "Rocky Mountain High." And as for grey areas (and unintended consequences) on this issue, I barely skimmed the surface.

More of a stoner hippy granny sort of song rather than a medicinal pot one, I guess. Perhaps something a bit like:

You fill up your censer
With marijuana-scent insense
Wear long flowing skirts, and
Flowers in your hair
You still can't remember
What you did in the sixties
Which just goes to prove that
You were really there

@ Phil:
Yes, that's funny, perhaps more so than mine. Thanks for letting me know!

I had no idea what I was going to write when I started messing with the OS. So I tried playing with the end rhymes and came up with 'denseness' and 'porous' right away. That led me to think of the title switch, which to my amazement hadn't been used yet. I went the route of medicinal pot, because that's a pretty hot topic these days in a lot of states over here. I'm kind of the go-to guy at the condo where I live when some of the senior citizens have problems that need solving. Usually the solution turns out to be something really simple, like turning a switch on or off. So I asked myself what would it be like if these very straight-laced people were under the influence of medicinal marijuana, and the answer was written in parody form.

Jethro? Is that you? Excellent work, but I left wanting more -- if only the OS was longer.

Rex, thanks for the v/c! I agree with you about the length of the OS--didn't leave enough room to fully develop the theme. BTW, who's Jethro? You have me stumped as to why you asked that.

Jethro Bodine was the grandson of Granny on The Beverly Hillbillies, and granny was known to have an acquaintance with the wacky weed.

Rex, thanks for filling me in. I never was much of a TV watcher, and that's one series I never saw. As I told Claude Prez, I haven't watched any TV at all since the switch to digital.

Denseness & porous are spot-on subtitutions, so I can see what you mean.

Great title! And very well written, too!

Thanks, Claude! And look, now I only need one more serving of 'troll house' cookies to achieve the elusive double-digit vote count!

Great title switch & glad to see pacing that actually matches the OS. I wish I'd thought of that title switch because I've now got some alternative subs in my head.

Thanks, Andy! You won't offend me if you do your version of the title sub. Go for it!

Great title and execution, and nice job rhyming to the original lyric. You seem to be missing a line after the break, but really well done. And if the 'Rocky Mountain High' connection was intentional, even more impressive.
