Hermit Crab's Cushion

(first stanza only for contest) We hermit crabs smile at our grousing a crack in my shell needs espousing. I spy a cigarette; the filter, perfect fit - could it cushion my cleft in housing? If filters could help tummy’s small crack better shell I won’t have to hijack. Should I try a quick smoke while I nit-pick and croak? Then laziness can get back on track.
