Not So Funny

I think smoking is quite funny, Stuck in the mouth, like a dummy Smoke billowing out from the *** After every single drag Eyes get tired from the smoke You cough so much you nearly choke Tobacco rolled up on a piece of paper Sir Walter Raleigh started this caper One wonders if this Raleigh bloke Thought of cigarettes as a joke As he saw people cough and splutter And once or twice, was heard to mutter I have started a trend That some will not comprehend Or understand They were aware it could be addictive. If afflicted, And will always need a cigarette at hand. Some thought smoking was sophisticated And not related To a threat to one's health The sellers were only concerned with the wealth Not the health of the user, Perhaps Sir Walter didn't know How much the sale of cigarettes would grow Why is smoking so attractive When it can make smokers inactive When your lungs get full of smoke And you want another Puff Will you think it is a joke And realize enough is enough
