got me a cigareete
butt
but
i can't smoke it

can't toke it
i can just joke it

got the blues
what can i do's
doe-si-does
dance with my toes

but
i only got a butt
to smoke
ain't much of a toke
hell, guess that's the joke

tried to poke it
it did not fit
i was in quiet a fit
shit

quietly
i tried to light
but i was blind to my sight
couldn't see a damn thing
the damn thing
kept moving around
i found
it was round
but
square

i mean, man,
i was there
and there it was
it 'twas
just a butt
but
.....
i shoulda' been able
if i had been able
if i was stable
i woulda'
i coulda'
smoked that butt
but...

i ended up
with a burnt butt
a burnt finger
the pain does linger
but
it was just a butt

right?
and so i write
black on white
but
blue
what can i do
got the cigareet
butt blues

still love yous
burnt finger & all
cigareet
and otheres too's

LOL, ok! Glad I read this one now rather than on the 16th! That is my stop smoking date! LOL according to the almanac, that is the best day to stop anything clear to the 27th! Wish me luck! I'm tired of smelly clothes and burn fingers not to mention yellowed ceilings!

Hugs
Tina
