hate edge

This is an assignment for class.  We made a "spell poem."  You know the "Double double toil and trouble" type thing.  I was able to switch into political mode and make one about cigarettes.


clever slogans and pics of babes

a fun lifestyle and things you crave

stinky clothes and cigarette butts

uncontrollable cravings drive you nuts

smoke our cigarettes and forget your strife

now your addicted, addicted for life.


Tobacco schmomacco look into our eyes;

tobacco schmomacco you fell for our lies.


I'm not anti-smoking or anything, but it just came to mind.  I think it is kind of funny that the tobacco industry has to take all the hits for using sex and a fun lifestyle to sell their product when every company (almost) does it.  But then again, most products out there don't usually kill you when you use them too much.

I hang out with smokers as much as possible. It makes me look cooler. I call it "second-hand coolness."
