I started smoking in '79 for nerves I said
Not much a day just when I thought I must
One in the morning and a must just before bed
My husband with never a vice forever did fuss

I stopped many times and gained some pounds
He worse with that than the smoking habit
I was slim almost skinny-lose or its grounds
So I smoked and got rid of most of it

Again I quit the weight really began to add up
How I tried to get rid of it 'cuz he had a fit
You can lose it,at meals not a plate but a cup
It didn't work because even water went to my hip

I got so round and plump he had to have his say
"Get rid of the weight I can't stand seeing you so"
I tried. got mad and told him off the other day
If you can't STAND it then SIT and see me grow!
He glares, I glare, then go out and sneak a puff
I know, I know!! I am childish.

"Childish"? So what? That's part of your charm! I think  you are absolutely delightful!---and I love your writing! And I'm speaking truthfully----because "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!"

Midnitesun, you forget..there isn't any den only a sewing room.  I'm not brave enough to smoke in the house, but I get exercise by walking outdoors.  Naughty but nice..lol

Earth Angel, my child, thank you and I like what you have to say, also.
