The Smo King

If you're wheezing, barking and coughin',
You're game for a ride in a coffin
If you're smoking little cigars and cigarettes,
You're a smoking Looney and that's as bad it gets

And another thing, smoking is not your anxiety answer 
It's just a good way to give yourself Cancer
You're a smoking Looney Tuney Maniac
And smoking will give you a heart attack

The Cigarette Twit has no good third Eye Sight 
You can't convince them of what's wrong or right 
With their third eye blind
They are outta their mind!

The smoking twit believes it calms their Nerves and Anxious Mind
But it's just a Placebo Effect they will someday find
With every cigarette you shorten your life 
With tumors you may someday be rife 

There's only one successful way to quit
You have to go Cold Turkey to get rid of the habit 
Eat some candy, chew some gum, crack some Sunflower Seeds 
To really stay quit, do whatever you need 

One day, if you fall off the Wagon,
And you are again attacked by the Dragon
Because you need a smoke to accompany your Flagon
But now your Family and Friends start to Naggin'

If you think that you're smoking for Mental Health,
You're wrong, smoking is also expensive on your Physical Wealth 
If you can't quit Cigarettes, take up Pipe smoking,
You don't inhale, still there's Oral Satisfaction, I'm not joking 

If you still think that smoking is Mentally Calming,
Soon it's your who they will be embalming 
What goes around comes around 
Keep smoking and dead you will be found

If you keep abusing God's Temple,
The lesson to learn is simple 
Death with a syckle on a Pale Horse
Will be hunting you down, of course 

They say that the end of a poem is hardest to write
They say it's harder than seeing in the darkness of the night
It's not hard when you have good third Eye Sight 
I'll show them all that I am right

I've written this stinking poem
Because the Smoking Twit, I know um
What is the most ironic thing 
Is the fact that I am The Smo King!

You're right Alison. But it's hard to quit when you think that you are having fun...
