CIGARETTES (Uggh)

By Del

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Don't think you're so smart When you smoke that cigarette. You're shortening your life minute by minute. Now just don't you forget. Oh, today you're feeling super! There's nothing you can't do. Smoking is still the "in thing," How can it be bad for you? It's bad for you in so many ways. I'm sure you're aware of this. Unless your loved ones also smoke, How could they bestow  you a kiss? Cigarettes have an odor That's simply overpowering. You can't get rid of the stink you have Even with daily showerng. You lungs were always pure and clean Til you smoked that cigarette. Since all that tar is building up CANCER is what you could get. Do you really need that pacifier No matter what price you'll pay? No, you really DON'T need that crutch. So throw those damn killers away. Written October 21st, 2001 © on Oct 21 2001 08:24 AM PST   10 • 0 • 1
