ANTI-SMOKING POETRY-3

Smoke A poem by Rex Tyler (rex@cooksdelight.co.uk)

I can't agree with anyone Who thinks that smoking is alright To me smoke is a ghastly thing Particulates that sort of bring The worst out in me anyway I do feel sick and cannot pay Enough attention to each thought When having to face this onslaught Combustion causes chemicals And all of them create in me Imbalance and a state of mind Where really I don't want to be Tobacco, yes and nicotine And radioactive lead and tar Radioactive Polonium yes that is where we are Its madness lighting up these days Whatever else one does There is better healthier things to do To get that so called buzz Low level waste Most cannot taste Or understand its worth But it is there However fair Dug into God's Earth
