The internet is usually pretty sleepy on a Friday afternoon in the middle of summer, which means that anyone who works online and wasn't able to cut out early is likely bored out of their mind. (Myself included.)

To ease the boredom, the sass master who runs the social media account for BART in San Francisco issued a rhyming public service announcement about how you shouldn't smoke weed on its trains.

The account tagged Metro Los Angeles, probably because it rhymes with cannabis.

The account responded, but BART wasn't feeling it too much.

Not to be shamed, the Metro fired back with a much better rhyme.

And for good measure they threw in another one about manspreading.

Seattle's Metro Bus also attempted to get in on the action.

If the New York City subway wasn't a dumpster fire, we're sure they'd chime in about their ridiculous and outdated marijuana laws.
