Caffeine, Coffee And Carcinogens

Caffeine, Coffee And Carcinogens

We live in a large adult community; well over a hundred thousand plus;

We have a “Starbucks” in one Town  Square; that is a favorite place of us!

We go there almost every day, and sit outside to enjoy the air;

The whole area is marked “non- smoking”, but there’s a crowd that doesn’t care!

Every morning by just eight o’clock, they come and think it’s a big joke;

That the area should be cancer free, so they sit there, and they smoke!

Many times we have complained to them, that “no smoking” is the law;

Of course, they think they’re above all that, as they giggle and guffaw!

We’ve decided that we won’t go back, until they throw them out;

I’m going to make some important calls, and try to bring this need about!

One bad apple, spoiling the whole sweet tree, such a shame for this beautiful venue;

Caffeine, Coffee and Carcinogens, we need only the “first two”!

Such a great piece Larry, well done sweetie. If only we could physically see the poisons that are released into the air from smoking! maybe people would try harder to give them up!! Well done for a really superb piece.

Love and hugs

Hi Georgina,

We are so happy to hear from you.  It's so funny, that Linda just got back from a medical appointment, and the first thing on our agenda, was to write you.  But, so thankfully, you beat us to the punch.  You've brought up something, which I've wondered about for sixty years.  Every time a smoker puts those carcinogens into our atmosphere, matter does not disintegrate, so, needless to say, the quintillions of cigars and cigarettes that have been smoked over the years, I'm sure have had an aid in poisoning our pure air.  But, that's why we love hearing from you, for you are always, "a lovely breath of fresh air"!

Love, Kisses and Hugs,

Linda and Larry
