Warning - Lizards Don'T Smoke

This is a non-smoking area
Lizards keep out
Smoking is bad for your health
Long tongues and swerving bodies are not welcome
Cold blooded creatures beware
Strike matches elsewhere, (California has sanctuary zones)
Surgeon generals are lined up against you
To decapitate your kind, decaffeinate your sodas 
Next on the list are turtles and frogs
Fat reptiles are not permitted in NY City
Smokers will be executed then put on trial
Liberals are coming after you
They love endangered species
Ash trays are ornamental
Kept in museums next to dinosaurs
It was not asteroids that killed the ancient lizards
Butt cigarettes without filters

Hi Casarah! Thank for your kind words. I'm so glad that you enjoyed my public service announcement. I know what you are thinking....but no.... I do not work for the public health department and God forbid that I work for any government agency. I am a free agent of the absurd. Have a wonderful evening. Take care. Earl
