Cigarettes



I once met a Man as big as a camel. If you ask me he looked like a manual. He was born in salem that old witch town. Claims its the reason for gaining those pounds. He smoked viceroy and didnt give any reason. Said he wouldnt quit not in any season. Mrs Virginia slim even gave him a hand. Tried helping him quit with the golden stand. His friends were laughing that benson and Hedge. He wished that they would fall off a ledge. He had a good friend called mr newport news. Smoked many cigarettes and drank much booze. The Man moved to chesterfield where he did die. Smoking those cigarettes was the reason why. He was burried in Winston where he will stay please stop smoking that i do pray.
