Little Miss Muffin

Nailed to a coffin, Little Miss Muffin
Smoking cancer sticks, huffin' and puffin'
   Along came a health preacher
   Tried his utmost to reach her
She said, 'Like a smoke ring? ~ I'm not bluffin'

Lindsay Laurie Date: 9/16/2020 5:40:00 PM Hello Gershon … very good Gershon. Those ‘coffin nails’ certainly rule the roost once there’s a taste for them - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2020 7:55:00 PM I'm glad I gave them up way back in 1973. I was a two-pack a day man too. Cheers, Gershon

Judy Ball Date: 9/16/2020 3:53:00 PM I think we've all known people like that. I have never had a cigarette of any kind in my life and am proud of it. However when people I used to know found that out that really pushed their grass on me. I just explained I didn't judge them for smoking but I was not interested. My mom smoked for years and only quit the last ten years of her life. Great write Grshon.\ God Bless, JB Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2020 6:38:00 PM Well, you're better than I am. Smoked those coffin nails for five years, though I had my last one in 1973. I would say that I've definitely quit! Cheers, Gershon

Janice Canerdy Date: 9/16/2020 5:42:00 AM I am SO glad I never started smoking! Clever limerick, Gershon! Janice Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2020 8:31:00 AM Good for you. Took me 9 months to stop. Glad I did.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 9/15/2020 11:23:00 PM I say "good for her! " Cancer sticks. That gave me pause. My mother kept lying to the doctor about ever smoking; I was shocked he could not smell the residual nicotine in her pores. She finally admitted "minimal" which was a lie. She died of bone cancer. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2020 8:31:00 AM Yup... Smoking's outcome is never good, even if it doesn't result in death.
