Inspired by "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson
All the poisons that I know -
Salvia Dinnorum is a hallucinogen,
a heavy dose will make you grin,
but poison ends your giggles quick,
screaming, gasping, confused wreck.
Henbane is the Devil’s Eyes,
try it and you’ll know why,
Drying mouth and insanity,
some used it for vanity.
Arum Maculatum smells of rot,
hard to breathe as you swot,
while battling a stomach flu
convulsing fits you also drew.
These are the poisons that I know,
when I searched high and low.
