Cigarettes
William brooks 1959 (Salem)
I once met a man as big as a Camel. If you ask me he looked like a mammal. He was born in Salem that old witch town. Claims it's the reason for gaining those pounds. He smoked Viceroy and didn't give a reason. Said he wouldn't quit not in any season. Mrs Virginia Slim even gave him a stand. In helping him quit with the golden hand. 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. They smoked plenty of cigarettes and drank much booze. The man moved to Chesterfield where he did die. Smoking those cigarettes was the reason why. He was buried in Winston where he will stay. Please stop smoking and that I do pray.
