pulling on a fag
inhaling the filth
sucking and sucking
swallowing it down
into blackened lungs
and at the end of the day
puking it all back up
guts heaving rhymically
into the waiting lav-pan
and that's how it was
that's how I watched
my father smoking
his way to painful death.
actually that was only a joke
my poor dear old dad
was killed in a road accident
by a non-smoking
non-drinking Jewish rabbi
who had lost his glasses
and was late for Shabbas
driving his Maurice Mynah
too fast in the fog
oy vay oy vay oy vay
if I have to be totally truthful
that was another lie
but what the fuck
Cool, innit?

quite original to say the least. rabbis everywhere are rolling their eyes I'm sure... quite comical though and well written. certainly a poem that fits the prompt and has us wonder what might have come next where there another stanza.
best of luck with the contest...
