Now that I’ve given up smoking
There’s no more standing outside
Freezing to death in all weathers
As well as trying to hide
My clothes all smell so much sweeter
I’ve lost that strange tinge to my skin
I’m no longer puffing and panting
And I’m determined not to give in
The cough that used to be constant
Has decided to go on its way
I am now considered a non-smoker
After years of smoking 20 a day!
There is one fly in the ointment
That really isn’t so good
Instead of smoking my head off
I’m stuffing my face full of food!
So glad you’ve stuck with it! I don’t think I eat more, but maybe I do…
BUT! My pants, although a bit more snug, certainly do smell good! 😀

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
