Smoking in bed

One night a man smoked while in bed.

The next day his kids found him dead.

As he smoked, he dozed off and his bed went up in flames.

A great man is now dead and he only had himself to blame.

His poor children cried and cried.

It really hurt them when he died.

It's a damn shame that this man didn't survive.

If he had been more responsible, he would still be alive.

THIS IS A FICTIONAL POEM BUT SADLY IT HAS BEEN AND STILL IS TRUE FOR SOME PEOPLE.
