I also understand Shel Silverstein's Pearly Sweetcake attended the Rastafarian, Bill Lee's record game in sunny San Rafael

The Smoke Off
Song by Shel Silverstein

Shed been stoned fifteen of her eighteen years and
the story was widely told
That she could smoke 'em faster than anyone could roll...

The real life Pearly Sweetcake was a close friend of Shel Silverstein, and I did know her well
