Your poem on the head does hit or doesn't
or does or doesn't
------------------------------------------------------
Past New Year's Eve I stopped the butts
It had nothing to do with resolution,
I was on a ship and if I smoked
There'd 'ave been a revolution.

It's six month by tomorrow's date
The fifth of the month of July
I don't feel any differently so I say,
"Screw them with their better than I"

I am a non smoker, but am married to a chimney. I find that it irks me how here where I live smokers built a stadium but are not allowed to smoke anywhere but a small area. I say if the nonsmokers rule tax them.
