End Up With Cancer

My son had done it since just a kid By others, forever they would forbid When smoking often has been done What you do others will start to shun. Why should people smoke these days When they will never receive any praise To smokers seems to be an escape; Smell does even get on each drape. They continue smoking day after day And for poor people I will always pray They finally found an eloquent answer It can cause you to end up with cancer. James Thomas Horn www.poetrysoup.com

Such a well written poem. I know the UK government get a massive revenue from tax paid on cigarettes, but then they have to fund the cost of hospital care for those struck down with this dreadful disease. Jan x
