I wrote this for BCP Prompt - Addiction, a weekly prompt to get the creative juices flowing.
Sorry, I've been busy as of late.. with summer school, and summer in general really. Not to mention a whole host of other bullshit that I must contend with. 🙃 Posting and commenting is a bit sparse these days, what can ya do? LoL.
Anyhow.. I wrote this up about my one addiction that doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Yes, I am puffing on one right now.. in case you were wondering.
I have tried more times than I care to remember, to quit. I've tried everything under the sun. Short of a desert island and no outside intervention, it is a lost cause.
I can't afford a private island.. just sayin! 😄
I am not immune to addiction, and just like everyone else.. I have my vice. Smoking.
So let's get it goin on shall we?
Dear Nicotine
My beloved, my dear dear nicotine
You make everything seem serene
First puff of the day is a dream
End of day I just want to scream
Way back in the day when I was a kid
All the parents smoked like chimneys
Cowboys hittin the Boros off the grid
Tv doctors said there'll be no disease
It was Kool to smoke back then
From born-again to businessmen
Everyone was hooked and screwed
Puffing on their way to decrepitude
From Joe Camel to Winston class
Only the weak didn't carry the pack
I wish I had then taken a hard pass
I wouldn't now be on Marlboro crack
I've tried about every drug out there
I have quit them all except for you
Still addicted let the reader beware
Don't start the habit it spells doom
