STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES



Three woman are seated in front of Costco
One is in a wheel chair with oxygen in her nose
The sign: Asking for donations to cure lung Cancer
The younger girls are both smoking cigarettes
I have known two people who have died of lung Cancer
Trust me, It is not a pretty sight and painful
I cannot help it the look I gave was disdain
"You can help more than me--!"One will die,
"There is a chance for two of you--Stop smoking!"
Maybe I am harsh, but I tire of paying for addictions
There is a cure for Cocaine addiction--Don't use drugs
There is a cure for Marijuana addiction--it is an addictive drug
There is a cure for child abuse--One strike you are out of here
There is a cure for spousal abuse--Do it in front of me
