I Love You

I Love You Smokers of the world unite Keep that ciggie burning bright Nick O’Teen is having fun Clogging, blackening the lung Don’t you know that it aint smart To let that fiend into your heart There won’t be any looking back After fatal heart attack And when the girl that you adore Says she’ll kiss your lips no more She’s looking for a smoke free zone Leaves you standing all alone When you're just a year from death Pleading, begging your next breath Even though you've never seen her Meet your new friend Emphysema So smokers of the world unite Keep that ciggie burning bright You'll never have a friend so true When every drag says, I love you This mixed message was brought to you by The Devil Himself Hua hua hua hua

Don’t want to be loved by Emphysemia! I remember my son’s horrid breath when he was chewing tobacco. Nick O’Teen is having fun…did you know that one of the nicknames for the devil is “Old Nick.”

An uncomfortable truth made palatable by humour. :)
