The tooth fairy's not real, nor is the Easter Bunny <br />It's your Mummy and Daddy who cough up the money <br />And Santa Claus with his red coat and sackful of gifts <br />He's just a fable, a fabrication, a myth <br /> <br />Now take the cigarette monster, huge and alarming <br />Many believe him to be, but he's actually quite charming <br />Once you get to know him, behind his fierce, brutish features <br />He's really the most amiable of creatures <br /> <br />But there are many who believe with an unswaying fervour <br />If you don't smoke a cigarette, he will commit murder <br />So they keep smoking constantly all through each and every day <br />And sadly don't realise that he just wants to play<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/myths-and-misconceptions/
