Till Breath Do Us Part!
Two cigarettes
decided to get married
and so they exchanged
smoke rings.
Virginia slim was eager
to light up his life,
and his meeting her
was a lucky strike.
She found his
sorry butt in a gutter
in Vegas still smouldering
from the last set of lips,
that dismissed him.
They hired a cigar
band to entertain
their packs of
twenty friends or so.
The preacher married them
with a well rehearsed script....oh
about ten minutes in length,
under an ash tree.
She wore a very tight,
long white gown,
with tan shoes,
and her hair was
flaming red.
They honeymooned on
Fire island and last I heard
they had bought a cottage
on Tobacco Road
in Winston-Salem.
