The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 166



It’s just (cough) unfair, call this democracy
I can’t just (hack) enjoy what brings pleasure to me
It’s (cough cough hack) disgusting, this stupid nanny state
I know (hack cough spit) what’s best for me, it makes me so irate
When out at (cough) restaurants when in a joyous mood
It’s my right to (cough wheeze) smoke so I can’t taste my food
And if I want to (hack cough pitoo) go out to a bar
A smoky (cough snort) atmosphere is much better by far
People working in a bar know (cough) the risks there
Get a job outdoors if you (choke) like fresh air
And just cos (cough snort hack pitoo) some health freaks say it’s bad
You wont scare me from (cough cough wheeze) smoking like my dad
He smoked 20 a day (hack snort) and lived to 85
Thou (cough) was on a ventilator the last 20 years alive
But it hasn’t (cough) effected me (hack) I can tell
(Cough cough cough wheeze hack cough wheeze spit)
Could you call an ambulance please, I don’t feel very well

Oh my goodness, I had to laugh at this. But, it's reality, I'm afraid. Great poem! Marilyn
