The Talking Cigarette

I'm just a friendly cigarette, don't be afraid of me
Why all the advertisers say I'm harmless as can be
They tell you that I'm your best friend, I like that cunning lie
And say you'll walk a mile for me because I satisfy.
Oh come on young man, be a sport, why longer hesitate?
With me between your manly lips you'll be quite up-to-date.
Your color you begin to lose, the very day we met
When I convinced you it was smart to smoke a cigarette.
You've got a cough, you get it checked,
The doctor says cancer.
He says you can't expect to live, thanks to me much longer.
Now that I have done my part, and I have done it well
I'll leave you with my partner death,
He'll come for you --farewell.

Evil cigarettes XD I honestly have no idea why people smoke those things but hey, who am I to judge? I like the short story you created in this poem :)
