I Can'T Be Bothered Poem by Alessandra Liverani

I Can'T Be Bothered



Why don't smokers think like this?

I can't be bothered smoking cigarettes
It really is a pain
Sometimes you've got to huddle out there
In the cold and freezing rain

I'm sick of what I have to do
Always carrying them around
And then feeling tense and anxious
When the rotten sticks can't be found

Oh they are such a nuisance
Stinking up my clothes and hair
And they cost a lot of money too
It just isn't fair

They really aren't worth a toss
There's nothing in it for me
Why don't I just throw them out?
And start to feel so free

Why don't smokers think like that?

I could think like that, but freedom from my deathsticks is the last thing I'd want. Every puff I take ensures I stay enslaved - so I keep puffing. It may cost most of my money, it may be killing me, but I must disagree, it smells wonderful. Cigarettes are my life, they're worth standing out in the cold for. May cigarettes bring me an early grave, with a painful ending, sending me to the next world - where my faith in tobacco will be rewarded, an afterlife filled with eternal chain smoking.
