Others try to control tobacco use <br />Forcing one to become a recluse <br />Where in isolation of one's own choosing <br />Others gather to avoid the abusing. <br /> <br />Tobacco is a blessing in disguise <br />As it hastens ones demise <br />An early death seems to be ensured <br />So that the agony of old age need not be endured. <br /> <br />When the cost to the country is considered <br />Would be less expensive to let those like encumbered <br />Go the ways of Tobacco's pleasures <br />Than the cost of old age's Medical Adventures. <br /> <br />Just a thought for those who seem hell bent <br />On seeing that others must repent <br />And enjoy the agony of growing old <br />If it is in fact, enjoyment bold! <br /> <br />(From one who doesn't smoke, dip or chew.) <br /> <br />s<br /><br />Sidi J.
