Magpie Tales #222 Dead End

 Image provided by Tess Kincaid of Magpie Tales

Take this for what ails ya
It ain't aganst the law
It'll make ya feel much bettah 
As you ingest for happiness
Erase sadness as you swallow
Tired of all your soggy sorrow
With one gulp and a deep breath
You've managed to hook up with Dr. Death

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
