I have past been fascinated
by the line smoke choke croak
because smoke got stuck
in the throat caused
a cancerous
growth
left the smoker burnt
black lungs like cooked toast
too long in the toaster
life too soon over
which crime makes
me wonder why almost
want to cry why smoke choke croak
sometimes smoking causes
atrophied loss of limb legs
like the French frog delicacy
an amputation of human legs
is better for smoker
than being dead but cancer
of the ripped out throat
is croak speaking no joke
why put legs on table like no choice frogs?
