Have another cigarette, roll the dice,
they’re becoming more expensive,  
though they’ve always been twice the price.

Engaging in a vice, where you pay twice!
Is really quite nice, as a vice,
for all vices take there slice!
For a potential final price.

Treading water,  just hold your smoke above the surf!
Take a drag“carefully” between each wave,
to more appreciate its worth!

Friend! Everyone needs a friend!
Someone to turn to if a mountain to climb,
reliable within all of your crisis,
for this friend will light every time.

These smoky thin placebo that also ****!
You cannot help but admire,
a vice of death? That mimics breath?
A buoyancy aid and liar!
