Poem #3: The Effects of Smoking

 No matter how you smoke it,  it is dangerous!

I never understood the trend

Of slowing poisoning yourself.

Your heart, your bones, your lungs and sight

Can self destruct with just one light.


With cancer slowly creeping up,

That immune system is now compromised.

The aches and pains from discomfort,

Is sure to leave you paralyzed.


Now sit and think before it burns.

What else would this concern?

Your kidney, stomach,

And that poor liver!

Plea with you before they wither.


Now to hit you with a mean right hook.

Your reproductive organ is now defective.

I may be a crook from the book.

So I suggest you hire a private detective.


Your blood pressure won't go down,

Now you'll surely see how things turn brown.

Cough, Cough

Comes asthma and TB

But this time, it's you who can't breathe.
