Ciggie Butt Pain - Pt. 1

Pilerats
Originally Appeared In

One man's battle with addiction, using the joys of poetry.. 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT CIGARETTES a poem by Luke Whelan.   I hate the way you make me stink, especially my hair. I hate the way you burn my shit, ie all the clothes I wear.  I hate the way you cost me heaps and the way you ease my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you’re in a shit green packet, I hate it when you die.  I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you’re not around, with 'no smoking' on the wall...
