Drinking Water
Smoking Cigarettes
Chasing midges, forsaking rest
Camel cigarettes
Subtle flavour
Packed in blue
Pesky, pesky midges
Mosquito’s cousins I guess
Here’s hoping, hoping I’m choking them to death
Because they’ve had three meals or more
They’ve caught me unawares
Teetotal non-smoker, the one, it is ‘he who dares’
The antisan cream
The disinfectants
Even the Germolene
Plus this net of finest denier
This nylon stocking sheen
Simply inept answers to the awesome biting machine
So I’ve snapped it
Between the pages of this here book
A fitting death
I hope you will think
A fitting, close fitting death
He died in a single scratch of ink
