SMOKERS

by

Smokers -- especially the young --

Are walking down a darkened road.

They breathe on poisoned weeds of dung --

Voila! you see, it's a la mode!

Would young folks, watching older folks

Puffing away with heaving chest,

Also believe that eggs, with yolks

Replaced by crap, would taste the best?

Despite the death news here and there,

Their fuddled minds can't grasp the facts.

They're huffing, puffing, everywhere,

Crimping their veins for heart attacks!

What makes the youngsters think it's cool

To light a cigarette and smoke?

Why can't they see only a fool

Will do so? -- silly dame or bloke!

Do youngsters think it makes them grown --

More adult -- to fall in that trend?

Why can't they see that each puff blown

Just brings them closer to joy's end?

Smoking's a vile, unhealthy thing!

Smoking belies a thoughtful mind!

Smoking such loss, such ails, can bring --

Smoking is simply so unkind....

Let that vile thing go up in smoke,

And let it be your very last!

Why should you let your senses croak,

So long before their time is past?

NEXT?
