SOMETIMES YOU CONSTRICT MY BREATH THOUGH THAT TO ME IS NOT A THREAT MOMENTS COME WHEN MY HEAD GO DIZZY BUT LIFE WITHOUT YOU WON'T BE SO EASY YOU MAY CAUSE ME A VARIETY OF DISEASES STILL MY NEED FOR YOU NEVER CEASES YOU ACCOMPANY ME IN SOMBER EVENINGS EASING THE PAIN FROM MY HURT FEELINGS ARE YOU MY FRIEND OR ARE YOU MY FOE? THE ANSWER I JUST DON'T WANT TO KNOW BUT ONE THING I'LL SAY WITHOUT REGRET YOU'RE ONE COMPANION I CAN'T FORGET! ETTERAGIC EHT
Reason for writing:
OFTEN I ASK MYSELF 'WHY THE HELL DO I SMOKE?'
I KNOW ITS NOT GOOD FOR MY HEALTH. I KNOW
ITS NOT GOOD FOR MY PURSE TOO. BUT WHY
DO I INDULGE IN SUCH A WORLDLY THING?
WELL, AFTER DOING SOME SELF-CONTEMPLACION
AND AFTER HEARING OUT OPINIONS FROM MY
FRIENDS AND FROM OTHER PEOPLE, I CONCLUDED
THAT MINE IS AN OPEN-ENDED QUESTION -- EVERY
ANSWER WOULD JUST GENERATE FURTHER
QUESTIONS FROM OPPOSING SIDES. AND THIS
REALLY IS MY SENTIMENT, THAT NO MATTER HOW
I KNOW OF THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS CIGARETTE
SMOKING BRINGS TO ME, STILL I JUST DON'T WANT
TO THINK OF THEM AND JUST CONCENTRATE ON
THE PLEASURES I GET FROM SMOKING. SO, I
FIGURED I WRITE A POEM JUXTAPOSING ITS GOOD
AND BAD EFFECTS, BUT ENDING THE POEM ON A
GOOD NOTE. HENCE MY POEM, ETTERAGIC EHT
(THE CIGARETTE IN REVERSE, OF COURSE
YOU FIGURED THAT YOURSELVES).
THEY SAY IF YOU SMOKE, YOU'LL DIE YOUNG.
I SAY BETTER SMOKE AND DIE A HAPPY MAN THAN
NOT TO SMOKE AND DIE AN OLD, DISSATISFIED
ONE!!!
