Be very careful, <br />That's first to understand, <br />You can start a fire, <br />Know this beforehand; <br /> <br />To make a glass pipe, <br />Hold a torch in one hand, <br />Apply heat to the glass tip, <br />That should be the plan; <br /> <br />The temperature is hot, <br />That you must withstand, <br />Should the glass slip, <br />Know where it will land; <br /> <br />The glass, once made hot, <br />Will have a nice red glow, <br />Blow a breath of air, <br />With ease, do it slow; <br /> <br />The glass will swell, <br />Until you reach your goal, <br />You must blow it into size, <br />And make that nice round bowl; <br /> <br />There'll be a 'pop', <br />When making it an air hole, <br />And once it cools, <br />You'll be ready then to roll; <br /> <br />To be without a substance to smoke, <br />You shouldn't even pout, <br />It really isn't necessary, <br />And that, I hope you won't doubt; <br /> <br />For to smoke in it a substance, <br />That with ease you can scout, <br />You can get stuck in the pipe, <br />And may never get back out; <br /> <br />Tony Avila Sampson <br />Copyright ©2006 Tony Avila Sampson<br /><br />Tony Avila Sampson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-a-glass-pipe/
