Puff On The Magic Wagon


Today's the day for disarray
as I am quitting smoking.
I'm feeling calm, no sweaty palms,
No I?m not, I'm f#####g joking!

I feel quite sad to say bye-bye
to my orange-filtered friends.
I'll have to suck on lollipops,
my thumb and felt-tip pens.

The curl of smoke, the nightly choke,
the wheezing in the breeze
are pleasures I shall dearly miss
as I munch upon some cheese.

My yellow teeth had mellowed
to the soothing nico-dream.
My lungs were quite resigned to thinking
that they'll stay unclean.

I reckon, though, the thing I'll miss the absolutely most
is watching as the flames turn all that money into toast.
