National Smoking Day
In the cold night air progress is a fruit salad,
when a cherry for warmth seems invalid.
Public health lost love for fags and cigars,
so they congregate on street corners, outside bars.
Four millennia some enjoyed the plant
now they’re told they simply shan't.
perhaps you joined in, not many stirred.
They told those lies, no referendum
and no negotiation in this addendum.
For just one day the forgotten one in three,
have a National Smoking Day to be free;
to relive the rights that went up in smoke,
when this dirty democracy became a joke.
