Cigarettes and Chocolate

I once had a lover who was a smoker I told him I really wish he’d quit The smell alone was quite a choker And his clothes were full of it I knew he was addicted and afflicted So I tried to inspire change Gave him a sucker hoping he’d lick it Maybe retrain his smoker brain When that didn’t work I continued to search For he was my sun on cloudy day His feelings I didn’t want to hurt But kissing is like licking ashtray So let’s try acupuncture this time With a little luck and love you can Beat this habit that should be a crime To market or sale to woman or man This really helped and he does well His cravings are less with a stick He turns to me all smoke free saying What about your addiction to chocolate

LOL! My daughter wanted her husband to quit and thought of her addiction to sugar and thus she worked on her own habit and her husband has been smoke free for a year. How about that! Love your poem!

Yikes, I know what you mean Karen, one time it was the norm to smoke. Best thing I ever did was give up now I can't stand the smell of them. Tom

Dear Karen I am the wife of a smoker. I can empathize with this wonderful poem. It's wonderfully written and I adore the last line especially. A terrific rhyming poem. I love it.

Your poem showcases exceptional artistry. Karen, the scent of cigarettes is indeed perturbing to a multitude of individuals. I wish he has renounced smoking at this juncture.
