627 - No smoke without desire

Update on my quitting smoking project
Last night a friend suggested that we share
A packet of ten, then went to collect
Another pack of twenty after there
Were none left in the first pack. And I swear
I didn’t want her to, but she gave me
The half-empty pack of twenty to bear
Homewards to finish off myself, ’cause she
Is also quitting with difficulty
Needless to say this had a bad effect
On my longing to give my lungs more air
And less tar. ‘No ta,’ I said, but sadly
Was too weak to resist or to reject
This devilish pact after so much beer
