Why smoke?

So tell me my friend, why is it that you smoke?

Surely it must make you choke!

And doesn’t it make you have stinky hair?!

Actually, you must be stinky everywhere!

And doesn’t turn your body yellow?

And does it really make you feel mellow?

They say it makes you look cool,

But I must disagree, you look like a fool!

I agree I agree, cried the friend to the other!

But quitting smoking seems much harder

Don’t get me wrong, I want to quit,

But I’m a little afraid to actually go through with it.

Don’t worry, dear friend, I’ll hold your hand

And together we can defeat any task, no matter how small or grand!

You promise you’ll put up with me?

Cause, you know, I may get a little crazy…

Don’t forget that smoking’s an addiction,

and quitting it may cause some friction!

Don’t you worry said the friend to the smoker,

I’ll be here for you, I promise you that and I’m no joker!

Ok, I feel like I’m ready to quit.

Or… maybe we should just wait with it a bit…?

I have exams and a job and a million reasons to wait

Stop making excuses, you can do this mate!

There’s no time like the present, so lets just do it now

I told you, I’m right here, to that I vow!

Step by step, one day at a time

And in a blink of eye, it’ll look like an easy climb!

Your breathing you’ll see, will get much better

And your pocket too, so you can buy a new sweater!

So my dear friend, what do you say?

Let’s quit together, and let’s do it today!
