Ack! Ever since Baghdad....
I remember at first it was just a couple of smokes with the Brits and Shane, now, just look atcha. You smoke like a Marine for goodness sake! (Eddie quit though... only he had some divine intervention, I had to get a chest x-ray for an "irregular" cough the doctor suspected could be early stage lung cancer... I'm good so far, but he threw his smokes out the window and now just dips a little bit, he's quitting that, too. I didn't tell anyone about the x-ray.) It's nicer to kiss boys who don't smoke... smooch! Be good to yourself, LT.

When I owned the pub I would have to undress in my hallway, wash my hair and shower before bed so I wouldn't smell of smoke...I completely relate to this smelly poem.
.Although I do still like the smell of a good cherry blend in a pipe..

In the quiet, the spirit is reborn and regenerates, sometimes in the most
unlikely places, most often at the ocean or in the quiet of the mountains. Clear your head, you'll be fine.
