"There once was a boy named Gimme-Some-Roy. He was nothing like me or you. Cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do. As a kid, he sat in the cellar, sniffing airplane glue. And then he smoked banana peels, when that was the thing to do..." Shel Silverstein - The Perfect High

ATIONS

If we meet and I say, "HI,"
That's a salutation.
If you ask me how I feel,
That's consideration.
If we stop and talk a while,
That's a conversation.
If we argue, scream and fight,
That's an altercation.
If later we apologize,
That's reconciliation.
If we help each other home,
That's cooperation.

And all these ations added up
Makes civilization.

(And if I say this is a wonderful poem,
Is that exaggeration?)

Not with a weird name like that...

Cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do. As a kid, he sat in the cellar, sniffing airplane glue. And then he smoked banana peels, when that was the thing to do..."

WTF?! Where did you hear that? Were you spying on me as a child?!
