Smoking,


Smoking fills the house with StaleneSs
Smoking fills the soul with peace,
Smoking paints your cheeks with pale
ness,
SIN oking makes your worries cease.
Smoking makes your nerves erratic.
Smoking lengthens molars' terms.
Smoking starts pains in Your attic.
Smoking kills a lot Of germs.
Smoking's splendid for digestion.
But it hurts the heart they say:
Smoking harms the throat, past ques-

But It drives ennui away.
Smoking costs lot OF money.
Smoking oft seems worth 1t. too:
Smoking makes your eyes act funny.
But makes peevishness skidoo.
Smoking lessons vim and vigor.
