Not have another cigarette, you surely must be jesting <br />It is my sense of humour that you can only be testing <br />You obviously don't realise that without them I cannot function <br />I must have them before breakfast, after dinner and after luncheon <br /> <br />I must have them when I'm anxious and have them when relaxed <br />I must have them when I'm on the phone and when I smell a rat <br />I must have them when I concentrate and have them when I rest <br />I must have them watching television and have them on a quest <br /> <br />I must have them in the daylight and have them when night falls <br />I must have them when a short time passes or even no time passing at all <br />I must have them when I see them or when they're out of sight <br />I must have them first thing in the morning and the very last thing at night <br /> <br />I must have them when I'm talking and have them when I'm breathing <br />I must have them when I'm walking and have them when I'm sneezing <br />Do you understand what I am trying to tell you? <br />I must have them <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2003)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-you-crazy/
