Caught You
I've never talked about
When we caught you out
You were spotted in the car
Though the distance was quite far
In your mouth, a roll of paper?
Yes, we saw that little caper
When I dropped down to the club
Saw you hide that half burnt stub
Secret smoker I saw you
and the lengths that you went to
But I thank you father dear
For abstaining when we're near
All these years remained unmentioned
these quiet thoughts I left them shunned
I'm so glad now you've stopped smoking
lost the cough, ditched the whole thing
You've gone years with out a puff
So I'm ending here, that's quite enough
I'm in trouble, now you see
'cos dad reads my poetry
