James Horn Poet Couplet

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.
