Lung Love Limericks

You started off thinking it cool
But ended up looking the fool
Your lungs have turned black
Your clothes reek; you hack
Should have listened to those films at school!

 

You think that it's too hard to quit
You say you don't have enough grit
But try to take Skoal
through your neck with a hole
It sure ain't that easy to spit!

Technology Woes

There once was a fellow named Jim
Bought an iPhone and then on a whim
Put it on his wife's lap
With a lovemaking app
Now she sleeps with the phone and not him!

Lung Love Limerick Contest

I just can't stand the smell any more
Sleeping with you is a chore!
You reek of stale smoke
Your stench makes me choke
Either quit or else sleep on the floor!

Tobacco will end your life quicker
It's just as addictive as liquor
It won't help you chill
It just makes you ill
And it's not good for your ticker!

It's time that you put out your butts
Get out of your tobacco ruts
Because smoking is crazy
So just quit; don't be lazy
To continue you'd have to be nuts!

Bad Habits

 A bad girl whose will was quite strong
Stuck her tongue out despite it being wrong
On a gray, icy day
It got frozen that way
And thus it stayed all winter long!

Something Light For a Change!

Three daring and headstrong young lasses
Failed to heed the advice of the masses
Who warned, "The ice is too thin!"
And so they fell in
Getting soaked from their hats to their asses!
