Smoking and the big C

It all began when she was but yet a teen,
It was cool and made her look like a beauty queen,
The harmful effects at that time were unknown,
To the cigarette her body she did loan,
She married and raised a family,
All the time not knowing, her life, would be snuffed out,
By the big C,
As she smoked, it got everywhere,
In her lungs, her children and in her hair,
She said over and over, I could quit, if I wanted to,
But all the world knew it was not true,
Then one day the payment was due,
The big C wanted her body parts too,
The breast was the first to be removed,
Then the mouth, the tongue and throat parts too,
Thank God she did not die that day,
But ten years later the big C would take full pay,
Even in her final days,
A cigarette she needed, was what sheâ??d say,
It was not easy to smoke it though,
You see, with a hole in her throat she had to pinch her nose,
The hole would not allow her to puff,
But when she pinched her nose, she could suck,
My mother the big C did take away,
So be careful you smokers because you may have to suck one day!
