Smoke? No thanks.
I don’t want to be
A chimney.
—
Chew? No thanks.
I don’t want to be
A spittoon.
—
Drugs? No thanks.
I don’t want to be
Just a dope.

Rub-a-dub-dub; two found in two tubs.
…A mother and daughter were they.
The first was on drugs; but here is the rub –
…The second? We’re guessing; none say.
Rub-a-dub-dub; face down in a tub;
…Both rich ones, the second from first.
It does not take dough to join the club;
…All dopers can be thus accursed.
Rub-a-dub-dub; live, don’t take the drug.
…Each day on this earth is a high.
A friend who would offer is no friend – a thug
…With poison so that you will die.

Do wrong so long, and practiced ways
Are habits that the slave obeys.

Slavery
Cigarettes:
First, you take one. Then –
They take you.
