Dasher, Dancer, Smoke a pack Prancer, cancer Hit the sack. One day you'll wake And realize you Need to stop For their sake, too. You want to be there When they graduate You want to be there When they take the leap. When the baby Takes his first steps When Morgan dates The girl with the pep. You cannot be here If you're smoking a pack. You will be in bed, And will have hit the sack.

That is so true Jennifer, just glad I for one don't smoke and neither do the people in my family! (Although my Mom used to and quit around age 40):)
