The inventor, I thank. by Sam Roberts
A neat dip on my lip, a furrow, where you sit.
smoke travels along my brook
Down and out, deaths on a hook!
And I couldnt be happier
And although this seems strange to state
My irony of merit to deaths trait
If it wasnt for Malboros white sticks and a vision so clear
My anguish and cynicism would fail to disappear
So I am not thanking life, pessimistic I still am
I thank the inventor
For his wonderful plan
Everyones addicted to something
And I couldnt be happier.
