Ode To The Fly Agaric
by Charles E S Fairey
Oh Amanita muscaria How beautiful your skin Your fairy tale fame And your hallucinogenic hymn! A gift from the gods Eight legged Sleipnir in the sky Blood flecked foam from his mouth Fell to Earth so we might fly. Oh muscarinic mushroom What pleasure you sing Oh what religious visions What hallucinations you bring. Searching for your red and white cloak Among the birch, larch and fir When we find you growing Life becomes a fantastic blur. We boil and drink thy broth Even fry and serve with bread Or dry you and eat you up And listen to what the Angels said. Oh my sacred ‘shroom When shall we meet again Till next autumn when you bloom And drive me yet again, insane.
