CIVIL LIBERTY

CIVIL LIBERTY

Roger A. Davis

I’m obese and I smoke cigarettes
My family is on my case
Now, society has targeted my pace
Newspapers report the need to undo these traits
But it is a choice I and others want in our fates
Taxing our smokes, rising beyond belief
As for leveling off, there seems no relief
When will excess fat be on the tax roll?
If it happens, there goes all my dough
World, don’t for me sob or snob
I like being a smoking fat slob
