For The Lady Who Almost Blew up the Place

A woman walks with her little

Boy. There is smoke

Coming out of her cigarette.

Don’t you know how

Easily you can blow up this place.

For god's sake, you’re at a

Gas station.

How on earth do you choose to ignore the warning signs? You’re putting our lives in

Jeopardy, especially your

Kid. I want you to

Leave if you won’t stop smoking.

Maybe I’m the only one who’s worried.

No one notices. The more you smoke the less

Oxygen your lungs can store. You’re

Probably

Qualified to be on the breaking news.

Remember that smoking affects your trachea, so

Take care of it or you will end up in

Urgent care. If you don’t. then you will

Vanish.

Why don’t you jump on a

Xebec with your poisonous cigarettes.

You need help. I hope that we don’t share the same

Zodiac sign. Breaking the rules will set you on fire.
