Drive By Cigarette.

As I **** this cigarette

my life go's up in smoke,

in clouds of gray and white

some day I'll die of stroke.

 

If only I would quit

this habit that I have,

my lungs would never rot

all cancerous and scabbed.

 

And though I know this all,

to my love I still return,

for nicotine I crave for nicotine I yearn.

 

Take this poem to heart,

and let thy cigarette go,

for dieing of lung cancer

is the slowest death I know.
