RIP Brandon Roke A man who loved to smoke He smoked several packs a day Causing an internal fray Now Brandon Roke has gone away
This relates to what we are learning in Biology because we took notes about how bad smoking is for your body. Smoking can cause damage to the respiratory system, including bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer. These problems can lead to an early death.
Here lies Brooke She started smoking at age eight She tried to quit now, but it was too late A couple packs a day, was all it took She would have been better off reading a book Now she is in the hospital, laying in a bed Wishing she had listened to what everyone said.
Here lies the man Edwardo, who was most addicted to nicotine and tobacco. For thirty-four years he smoked, he smoked a pack a day. Then, one day in his fourty-sixth year his lungs clogged up and he did choke. Now here Edwardo's body lies, slowly wasting away.
