I was caught selling pot in a town in Tibet.
A thing that surely would bring my deepest regret.
I was cool as a rule thought I'd never get caught.
The punishment that I got I never forgot!
**
It was October and cold as a witches tit!
They gave me a bucket with nail polish in it.
The roof's gold colored shingles everyone was nailed.
The paint on the "heads" got dulled each time that it hailed.
**
They dragged me literally up to the top tiers.
I knew painting those nail heads was gonna take years!
A kazillion of them I touched up maybe more.
Got blisters on my hands and my kneecaps galore!
**
It took me four years then they finally freed me.
Looked like a skeleton when I left that country!
Back to one hundred eighty pounds and I've moved on.
Don't sell pot no more, these days I work for 'Revlon' ~

I love the humour in your poetry, even when you write about being banged up, you do it with humour. It is a serious subject and i should not not, but i cannot help that by the way it is written, really enjoyed the read.

Revlon resolved your emaciation;
Although wot about the constipation?
Couldn’t pop down for quick trip to the loo -
Drug smuggling out of the question too……
Pleased you are now on the straight and narrow, Thad and made yourself an established Poet Supremo….
Howdy Dave!! 👋 🤠

On some 'nail polish' any shade,
