My First Cigarette

   It was on the hotel balcony

With my friend

We talked about our friends inside

Then out came the pack

From his blue jeans pocket

I was incredibly curious

"Have you smoked before"

"No"

He put the long cigarette in my young hand

With the forbidden fruit inside

I really wanted to see what it was like so

I took the matches

The flame touched the end of the cigarette

And into my mouth it went



Curiosity killed the cat
