10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT CIGARETTES

a poem by Luke Whelan.

 

I hate the way you make me stink,

especially my hair.

I hate the way you burn my shit,

ie all the clothes I wear. 

I hate the way you cost me heaps

and the way you ease my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick,

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you’re in a shit green packet,

I hate it when you die. 

I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you’re not around,

with 'no smoking' on the wall...
