"WHAT IF IT WERE LETTUCE?"

by

Alice C. Bateman

What if it were lettuce
That they chose to take away?
A beneficial substance
That we use most everday?

What if it was lettuce
That was against the law?
What if it was lettuce
That was against the law?

Because a daily substance
That *Howard God* gave us
Has suddenly been taken
Into hands that we can't trust

They take away our Healing Herb
And give to us much pain
And say "Take this Rat Poison"
It will only rot your brain

When we could each have a Garden
Of God's Own Healing Herb
And we could have a peaceful
And gentle sort of world
