I'm dreaming of a full ashtray

I have to quit smoking! I don't WANT to quit smoking, but I know it's time. I just can' t continue because, well, when would I ever stop?

Here are my thoughts on this new endeavor.

Quitting
With my pack and my lighter I look so neat
when I get all ready to have a smoky treat

Cool people go outside to have some smokes
we laugh and puff and tell funny jokes

Smoking's my excuse to leave a lame place
And I skip exercise because of my smoker's pace

Having a cigarette is my "prayer time"...burning incense to the Lord
It's also a good pastime for those times that I'm bored

I've spend many dollars on packs from Convenient
or sometimes I could bum, if I found a smoker that was lenient

Turkish Golds, Parliments, or in Austria, a red
Marlboro, I'd never order because I don't know how it's said

I love just having a smoke with whoever's around
you may give away your lucky and a new friend is found

Will we be doing this when we're no longer young?

No because by then ashes will have ruined my lung
