Smoking In Bed

One night a man smoked while in bed. The next day his kids found him dead. As he smoked, he dozed off and his bed went up in flames. A great man is now dead and he only had himself to blame. His poor children cried and cried. It really hurt them when he died. It's a damn shame that this man didn't survive. If he had been more responsible, he would still be alive. (THIS IS A FICTIONAL POEM BUT SADLY IT HAS BEEN AND STILL IS TRUE FOR SOME PEOPLE.)
