Smoking
A poem by Paul Pizzolo

Smoking

As I lit up another smoke
I know its destructive
My partner does not like it
It's certainly not seductive

But the rush I receive
Is never over-rated!
Suppose its anti-social
Detested and hated.

Menthol is the greatest
Not great for your sperm.
But you must give it all up
Be resilient and stern!!

Its widely renown
For causing lung cancer.
Doctors work relentless
To find an answer.

There are not enough adjectives
To describe this action.
But to know there are solutions
Without much reaction.

Patches and gum
Is a solution to it all.
Feeling robust again
And a having a ball.

But as I finish being creative
I lit up another smoke
Suppose its better
Than smoking noxious dope.
