‘Have you found a job yet?’ asked Dicky.
‘I am thinking of offering my services to Amazon’ said Micky.
‘Doing what?’
‘Delivering packages’.
‘In that?’
Why not? Okay, it needs a little spit-and-polish, but it’s ideal’, said Micky proudly tapping the mirror which promptly came adrift.
‘It’s taken root!’ laughed Dicky.
‘Just a few weeds’ said Micky giving them a tug.
‘Hey, that’s not any ole’ weed … it’s flippin’ cannabis!’ gushed Dicky.
‘Really?’
‘I think so. Forget Amazon, you’re onto a fortune!’
‘What? I just sprayed it with weed killer’.
‘Amazon it is then. Fetch a hose, I’ll give you a hand’.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Russell Gayer for the photo.

I freaked out years ago thinking cannabis was growing in my backyard and it turned out to be common cinquefoil. OTOH, the neighbor kids were growing it in the park until someone reported them to the cops, who took the large aquarium the kids were using and left a note telling them to pick it up at the police department.

I think I’d freak out too, especially as someone I thought I knew well was till recently locked up for growing it! I wonder if the kids claimed their aquarium!
