Thou who when fears attackA
Bidst them avaunt and BlackA
Care at the horseman's backA
Perching unseatestB
Sweet when the morn is grayC
Sweet when they've cleared awayC
Lunch and at close of dayC
Possibly sweetestB
-
I have a liking oldB
For thee though manifoldB
Stories I know are toldB
Not to thy creditB
How one or two at mostB
Drops make a cat a ghostB
Useless except to roastB
Doctors have said itB
-
How they who use fuseesD
All grow by slow degreesD
Brainless as chimpanzeesD
Meagre as lizardsD
Go mad and beat their wivesD
Plunge after shocking livesD
Razors and carving knivesD
Into their gizzardsD
-
Confound such knavish tricksD
Yet know I five or sixD
Smokers who freely mixD
Still with their neighborsD
Jones who I'm glad to sayD
Asked leave of Mrs JD
Daily absorbs a clayD
After his laborsD
-
Cats may have had their gooseD
Cooked by tobacco juiceD
Still why deny its useD
Thoughtfully takenE
We're not as tabbies areF
Smith take a fresh cigarF
Jones the tobacco jarF
Here's to thee BaconE
