I'M Not Really A Smoker Poem by Alessandra Liverani

I'm not really a smoker, though I smoke day and night
I'm not like those others, I can easily take flight
I'm very different and the reasons I smoke
Are not like those others, they're quite a joke

I need to smoke because my job's very trying
I need to smoke 'cos my customers ain't buying
I've got my reasons and my reasons are sound
I need to smoke, yes my reasons abound

You'd smoke too if you suffered like me
You'd die for a fag, you'd get very cranky
Although maybe you wouldn't if you realised quite clearly
That fags give you nothing, just make you pay very dearly
