Smoking Is So Sophisticated

Smoking Is So Sophisticated

By Elton Camp

Yellow teeth, cigarette breath, holes in clothes
Why, nearly everyone admires things like those
Causing all in your vicinity to cough and frown
These are truly the best of smoking to be found

Smoker’s clothes so reek of vile cigarette smoke
That even when not puffing, he makes us choke
The tobacco addict always demands an ashtray
But rarely have I seen one take the filth away
