Smoking.

Smoking.If only I could give up smoking,
I am sure it would make my day.
No! I really am not joking,
If only I could have my way.
I started off with twenty,
Alas it did not stop there.
You might say that it was plenty,
And more than my fair share.
I was caught in this habit vicious,
It soothed the craving from within,
Strange I never found smoking delicious.
And I find no sense therein.
I have made up my mind to smoke no more,
And have thrown my cigarettes away.
More money is in my pocket for sure,
And that is the way it will stay.
