Write an affectionate poem
for a pipe smoker

Title it: “Castello 93”
one of which is giving me great pleasure
as I write.

Castello 93

Hands gently touched his eyes
Eagerly touched his neck
And could not wait to press on his chest

Kissing the trembling lips and held it open
Ear closed to his mouth
To feel his soft breath

Took off his shirt, pants
And all his others  
Skillfully laid him on bed

Wrapped warmly and tightly
by an angelic white
Dreamingly he enjoyed his rest.

This was the last scene
The last two minutes
Of a pipe smoker's life
Before he died of cancer.

Teeth were brown
Lungs were black
other pathological graffiti
I am not able to write.

Dear John, this topic is obviously for man.
I wrote some was out of humour because I can't say good things about smoking. Still I do not want to annoy any one here who is a smoker. if you do not like it, do please let me know.

it is the scene of emergency room rescue.

have a very wonderful weekend.

I love a pipe smoker
Except during poker.
It starts my eyes blinking
And gets folks to thinking
“Maybe he’s tripled
or holding an Ace,”
But I’m not blowing smoke,
it’s just smoke in my face.
