Hi, tulpitree:

Whose idea was it to suddenly create
Without consultation or even debate
The lunacy of "World No Tobacco Day"?

I doubt the idea will get much play
Outside the U.N. and Metrosexuals, gay
"National Smoke-Out Day" hasn't been a winner, so they say

Since last I heard, smoking is legal
It doesn't take a Legal Eagle or Rhodes Scholar
To see it's all about the attached taxing dollars

Which is why smokers have been making purchases on the Net
Instead of filling state spending coffers
When one uses Static Analysis, this is what you get

Instead of Tax Profit projected
The idea is Dynamically becoming thoroughly rejected
Which is why most states are desperately in the red

A word to the Social(ist) Engineers and their proclivity
When you throw an exorbitant Monetary Punch
The People won't just stand right there and take it!

We know that you are collectively Out To Lunch
For years we've dodged that Sucker Punch
If you want our taxes, come up with a new way to Fake It!
