Ode to the smoker I know they’re not healthy, I know they’re not good I’d probably stop smoking if I thought that I could Each time that I buy them, I cringe at the cost But each time that I light up in the pleasure I am lost Now here is the problem, I write this with charm All I meet say, “stop that”, though I’m doing them no harm. I don’t smoke in front of them, out side I do race I’m careful and considerate, don’t blow smoke in their face So I ask you quit buggin’ me, Quit waggin’ your tongues, It’s my business what goes in and out of my lungs I’m not really the smoker; I’m just the sucker So leave me alone you loud mouthed mother trucker! ------------------ O all ye powers that he implanted, Arise, keep silence no more; put forth the strength that he hath granted, your noblest work is to adore. |

I agree! She says as she exhales smoke into the air. I never infringe it on anyone, not even my family. It helps me get through the rough times, at least I'm not dependant on drugs or an alcoholic!! Well done..  ------------------ What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny, compared to what lies within us. ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

I had a bit of fun with this piece. I wanted to convey that we all have rights, no matter what they may be. It is our right to make our own decissions as long as they do not effect those around us. For this we should not be judged. Thank you for you comments Isis and Lucie! Ok, light up! ------------------ O all ye powers that he implanted, Arise, keep silence no more; put forth the strength that he hath granted, your noblest work is to adore. |

Puffy You are a bad bad girl (all girls who smoke are bad girls, dontcha know?). I liked your poem. I used to smoke, and lil Lorelei and I have backslid a couple of times when we out dancing and having a ball. Still, you are a bad bad girl (I love bad girls. That's why I married Lorelei - she's extremely naughty at times). |

Thank you so much for you comments. I'm glad to see I struck a note here. (and Johnny, I'm not bad all the time, but when I am, I'm very good at it) hahahahaha ------------------ O all ye powers that he implanted, Arise, keep silence no more; put forth the strength that he hath granted, your noblest work is to adore. |
