Lit Cigarette Fire
LIT cigarette fire
Sad but funny case of a lit cigarette
Causing the blaze to a small house.
Occupied by a separated mother and her son
Fire officials were quick to put out the fire.
Police recovered a burnt out cigarette
A small damage done, just a bed damaged.
The family summoned for interrogation.
The lady explained that she and her son
Enjoying the fresh air in the balcony,
She smoking a cigar and boy busy with his IPod
She went to the bathroom putting it in ashtray.
The boy couldn’t resist enjoying some puffs
As he used to while working in the garage
In the past with his father.
As he was puffing, he heard bathroom door
In haste he put the cigar under the mattress
As the mother was explaining, the boy crying
Hick…hick all the time and saying I will never do it.
Hell... with tobacco, bloody tobacco… hick...hick.
