Humpty Dumpty Smoked Out

Huffy Puffy had a smoke

Huffy Puffy had to choke

All the king’s doctors and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Huffy Puffy’s lungs together again.

Witty but also very wise, James. People keep trying to kick the habit; it's not easy. Some wear skin patches, some think no one can smell the smoke on their clothing. Wrong! Let's offer a toast in good cheer to Huffy Puffy and hope he finds a better set of doctors. LOL Love, Carolyn
