CHEAT DEATH

Cigarette packs have health warnings 

that tell you what smoking will do 

None of them sound very charming 

and many, it seems, will kill you 


but ways to survive prescribed fate

and give yourself more of a chance, are

to pick up packs of ‘low birth weight’

and never buy ones that say ‘cancer’

Apologies to Bill Hicks, who ripped this thought off me, but he was clever about it: he did it first and put in punchlines.
