Determination

I read a little poem once I do not know who wrote it some little words so much like me I very often quote it "They said it couldn't be done With a smile he went right to it He tackled that job that couldn't be done And couldn't do it." When the doctor told me I had to quit my smoking I looked at him and said "now Doc You surely must be joking." For thirty seven years now I've puffed upon these things From roll your own to Lucky Strikes Then on to filter kings But I guess that I can stop now Though it may cause sweat and tears And it might even take me Thirty seven years
