I'll stop in the morning............

I coughed my way through another day

Nicotine having it’s filthy way,

For every fag smoked, I’m now having to pay.

I’ll stop in the morning, I hear my head say.

Well, I went down with such a terrible blight

Could hardly breathe, try as I might

I breathed trifle by day and treacle at night

I was somehow involved in some dangerous fight.

Puking, retching, aching and stuff

Till I reached a point where enough is enough

I've got to quit smoking, no matter how tough

I’m making a stand, No more shall I puff.

If I keep on like this, I will soon need a hearse

So pack it in now before it gets worse

With the strength I've got left, I’ll fight off this curse.

Like a prize winning boxer, I’ll walk with the purse

Well, I've just completed a week and a day

With lozenges keeping the cravings at bay

Quitsupport backing me all of the way

My infection is fading and going away

On every new morning as I see the sun rise

I am clawed at by Nicotine feeding me lies

But I know what is folly and I know what is wise

I'm not going back there, I've opened my eyes.

Well, well, well, so you're a poet too - your talents know no bounds! We have a few poets on here (I'm no good at them myself) and I think this is one of the best ones ever! :)
