Mr Free Cannabis – a name granted to him by the poll of deeds,

Tricked the council into watering cannabis plants for twenty years

After a community effort to contribute seeds,

And give them a new home inside his shop display

Which comprised

Of a bicycle and a trailer hooked up behind –

And became the whole scene of the crime

Where the plants were seized and due to hemp-phobia

He was informed the seeds could no longer grow here,

Despite having featured in the In Bloom awards one year,

Yes – that very same display!

So for Mr Cannabis it was a very sad day,

And all the others who had dropped seeds in the tubs,

To see the end to their much-loved shrubs.
