Butt, Butt You're Caught

Children are like innocent animals at times as they get caught doing the naughty things we beg them not to do. I was a smoker and enjoyed every puff. I will never pick it up again because it was the hardest thing I ever did was quit.


Poem Artwork

Butt, Butt You’re Caught

Somehow you knew it,
That you were doing wrong,
Hiding in the bathroom,
It’s not where you belong.

Lighting up those cigarettes,
Puffing on them with your friend,
Being so mischievous,
How could you pretend.

To be such precious kitties,
As I stepped away from home,
Trusting you would both behave,
When I left you all alone.

Now you’re caught in action,
The smell of smoke is in the air,
You’ve made a mess to tend to,
Tell me did you get a scare.

I don’t know how to punish you,
How can I make you see,
That puffing on those cigarettes,
Aren’t healthy for you or me.

I was twelve when I got my first puff, I don't know if my folk had cared if they knew, then again, we hadn't a mother like Rose.

Ha! Rose you penned so well those misspent days of youth experimenting. My father tells a story that his grandfather caught him and his cousin behind the barn trying out a cigar. He made them eat it! he he he......my dad was never a smoker after that! Cheers, Deborah

With my slow system, I read the poem while the picture is downloading. You sure fooled me good! I scrolled up to see the picture of your 2 kids, and there they were, the puffing cats!
A good one, and also "a good one on me!"

Love, Connie

I guess kids all try things at one time or another, and hopefully they reach the right decision. You've written this on an upbeat note, and I think that's important, as it shows understanding. Cute photo.

I know, cigarrettes are aweful, maybe a visit to the cancer unit will open their eyes...

The cats away the mouse will play!
I caught my kids many times
They also would closed the door
To their room I knew something was up
And told them if you have to hide than you know it’s wrong!
And you’re inviting Mr. Cancer to invade your longs
And also your family
Beautifully writing and expressed concerns on teenage smoking
Brilliant write!
Peace Love and Light….and hugessss too…Morning Star

Kids will be kids, as will kittens, but don't be too hard on them; we all must live and learn.

Love the picture!

Okay, I'll admit, I've been guilty too of this too. I've tried it, but never liked it! So I have never become a smoker.

LOL That picture is hiLARious!! But this write has a message we can learn from; glad I don't smoke (though I live with a smoker; I personally wish she'd quit, but she's addicted to the things~ GRRR!! At least she doesn't smoke in the apartment or around me; she respects me)!

Very well penned/illustrated, Rose; brava!

(((HUGS))) to you in Newfieland from Texas~

With much love, your friend, Karen Lynn. :D

I hope many have the courage to quit by your example. I have seen too many of my friends who smoked heavily pay the price with their lives.
