Smoking Can Kill You!

Limerick(s) of the Week

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Lighter than ne'er.

A smoker inhaled hydrogen for floatation

Ignored the need of safety regulation

Went only so high till peaking

After his lighter-than-air got leaking

'Cause emphysema gets terrible inflation

.

He used hydrogen instead of helium

To escape the boredom of maddening tedium

And smoked behind a balloon

That was Chinese, and soon

Was shot down to Earth, indeedium

.

He exploded on a storage depot

Of flammable fossil fuel, and so,

He was smoking again

Like fries Julienne

And hydrogenated until incognito
