Smokey Thoughts
A child was born in Blackburn early on Christmas day,
She became a passive smoker as in her cot she lay,
Her lungs the size of plums filled up with cruel smoke,
To hear her in hospital coughing made her mother choke.
Smoking makes the stairs seem steeper,
As your chest runs out of breath,
It fills the air with darkness,
And leads to certain death.
Smoking in public is an utter disgrace,
Why should we non smokers foul fumes have to face,
To ban it in eating places was the only answer,
Cutting down on heart attacks and lowering the risk of cancer.
Smoking is a habit ditch it if you can,
Present in a woman also in the man,
Pleases all that govern,raises a lot of tax,
Furs up your arteries with a stodgy sticky wax.
Sticks of death and pipes of poison,
Are certain to puff out grief.
Don't let your life be taken early ,
By this tobacco thief.
