Bix

From my more mellow non-confrontive side. This will not irritate anyone....*sigh.

 

You could light a cigarette in the pouring rain,

Smoke a fat blunt in a hurricane.

On the old ones you could adjust the flame,

Got yourself a Bik always cool, never lame.

 

Now I’m generally considered,

A lover, not a fighter.

But don’t f**k around,

With my blue lighter.

 

One day I was smokin’

somethin’ illegal with a friend.

And my cool blue Encendador,

He wanted me to lend.

 

I said, “Dude, you smoke weed,

Crack and nicotine.

You fire up the crystal

Methamphetamine.

 

So I’m thinkin there, Smoky;

What the f**k?

Buy a damn bik dummy,

They only cost a buck.

 

Get yourself a bik.

Red, blue or green.

They really are the most convenient things.

A good bik is handy around the house,

A tool and a paraphernalia,

Without a doubt.

 

Bik Lighters, always cool, never lame.

Like a Bik lighter this poem is "Cool" dude. I really like the flow, almost sounds like a rap. Ive tried my hand at those but they never seem to have the flow a good rap needs. Oh well, perhaps I will figure it out...Dude I could prolly write one about a certain friendly green substance we both seem to enjoy though.. I got the purple cush, I got a whole damn bush. An he aint did s**t, to legal-ise it. I hope maybe soon, Obama will see a boon, in the marajuana industry, so we can sit and smoke a tree and be free to blaze our bong, while bar-b-quein on the lawn. I wanna smoke my blunt, right out on the front, of the courthouse steps, an share it with the lawyer preps. Don't they know what we could gain, it could keep the "Blood In The Rain" from spilling on the streets again. Dude I really enjoyed reading this piece and will be reading many more of your works for sure...

Hey ...thats a cool write for a lighter.
Would never occur to me to choose as a subject.
I could picturise the "light a cigarette in the pouring rain" line.
"Buy a damn bik dummy,
They only cost a buck.
"
the line above makes perfect sense.
"Get yourself a bik.
Red, blue or green"
Here you have nicely given a colorful spectrum for your poem which adds to the beauty of the write.
I distinctly remember the confrontation Jim Carrey has with the Trucker Boys outside the junk shop over a Ciggy stub chucked on the sidewalk ....the movie Me Myself and Irene.
"But don’t f**k around,
With my blue lighter."
I can understand your sentiments for your prized possession.

A good one, Tony. Remember when they used to say "flick your bic"? I quit smoking twenty years ago, but still have that blue Bic in my pocket, ready to light the barbecue or occasional candle. Don't arc weld with one in your pocket, though--you might blow your leg off.

Such a serious topic, but man, it still made me smile. Great writing!

[Jenny Nelson]

Very entertaining. I enjoyed reading this. It actually makes a couple of good points to ponder as well.
