If I woulda known that smoking's just a hoax <br />I coulda refused them, I'd never even be coaxed <br />I shoulda listened to what my elders had to say <br />And then I woulda been a lot happier today <br /> <br />If it woulda been explained clearly to me <br />So very, very clearly so that I could plainly see <br />That smoking is a mug's game, it really, really is <br />I coulda avoided it and not enslaved myself to it <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2003)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/coulda-woulda-shoulda/
