I said,
Do not smoke,
Cigarette smoking is dangerous to health,
Statutory warning,
Haven't you read,
I said to him,
But heard he not,
Went on smoking,
Smoking one cigarette
After another,
Bringing the cigar
From the pocket in style,
Giving a match to it,
Putting on the lips
With the fingers held
And smoking
In style?
Do not smoke,
Said I,
Cigarette smoking is dangerous to health,
Statutory warning,
Heard he not,
Went smoking,
Bringing out from the pocket
In style,
Putting a match to,
Puffing in,
Shaking the ashes,
Smoking in full
Left eh the p; lace
With a puff upwards,
Smoking and going,
Going and smoking
The man
Not less than a hero
Was he.
