Stimulants may provide a "rush" followed by a "crash" and irritability.
Drug-induced states
Are produced by stimulants
Many Americans enjoy
A cup or two of coffee
During the course of a day
- – -
Some get their fix from pills
Like Dexedrine, Methedrine
And Benzedrine
That their doctors prescribe
As amphetamines
- – -
These are known as “uppers”
“Speed”and “bennies”

Another drug
That’s sold illegally
Is cocaine made
From the coca plant
That stimulates
The nervous system
- – -
Recent studies show
That caffeine in moderation
Is good
For coffee drinkers
Especially those that are
About to take exams
Being able
To better concentrate
- – -
Too much coffee
May cause restlessness
And tremors
- – -
Pills that contain amphetamines
May result in a rise
In a person’s blood pressure
Breath rate
And heart beat
- – -
Cocaine may dramatically
Effect a person
Causing dizziness
Convulsions
And low blood pressure
- – -
Overall
Most stimulants
Provide energy
Followed by irritability
- – -
Taking these
May cause
Many individuals
To eventually experience
A “crash”
