He needed more wood, but he found a weed.
His fire was dying it was very low indeed.
His name was Herb he was a stone age guy.
The first man in history to ever get high.
Pulling up the giant plants roots and all.
Then he made a big stash by the cold cave wall.
His family asked, where is the wood, what is this?
Then they all sniffed the leaves of the cannabis.
They said this stinks like a skunks bum and it was true.
Herb took a big stiff and said, man yes it do!
Then he grabbed the leaves and put the near the fire.
He said they'll burn better when they get drier.
The cave elder came over and took a look.
He said hurry up Herb we need to cook.
We asked for wood Herb and you're to blame.
How can we cook on such a little flame.
He said no problem man, I'll solve this.
Then chucked on a big pile of cannabis.
The cave elder screamed is this a joke.
As the whole place was filled in a cloud of smoke.
No one could see where the other was at.
But soon a little giggle turned to a laugh.
They were bumping into walls and rolling on the floor.
All stumbling out of the caves front door.
The cave elder laughed so much he was doubled over.
Then he put his hand upon Herbs right shoulder.
He said I don't know what you found but my word is true.
We will name this plant, Herb after you.
For many a year Herb basked in his fame.
But he was forgotten by history, but not Herbs name.
So the next time you have a spliff and you get high.
You can thank old Herb, and now you know why.
