Smoking Good
He tossed the finished cigar in the bin,
Doctors for years have said it is a sin,
To blow your two lungs out in puffs of smoke,
Is as bad for you as using street coke!
He was advised to go for morning run,
quit cigars, be a vegetarian,
He ignored doctors, never took to track,
His doctors died! All of heart attack!
He looked at himself in bedroom mirror,
The creases on his face caused him no fear,
He walked with shuffle but walked straight,
Not bad for a man one hundred and eight!
