No Smoking
I inhaled a lungful of cigarette smoke,
While waiting for the number nine,
I coughed so much I thought I’d choke.
The woman ignored the no smoking sign;
It served her right if she got a heavy fine.
Another man asked her to stop
And said his lungs deserved fresh air,
He raged so much I feared he’d drop;
But she chatted to someone who wasn’t there,
And looked at the man with a vacant stare.
