Encourage young boys to try drugs.

I was an addict just waiting for an addiction and I didn't need to wait long.

His name was Jimmy Shovel

and he asked the question

I wish I'd never heard.

Do you fancy a blow?

Peter and I looked at each other

and shrugged then said yes.

We disappeared down to the river

and sat cross legged while he knocked up.

We were 13 years of age and pretending

that this was an every day occurrence.

Peter escaped the addiction

but I was trapped from the first hit.

I'd arrived and discovered an experience

that would occupy my thoughts, most of my time and

all of my money for many years to come and lead to 

other addictions.

Shovel was a looser and a complete prat

as are all those who encourage young boys 

to try drugs.
