Smoke

I am 14 ignorant
Of almost everything
Except Greek and Norse
Mythology history or geography
So for my father’s birthday I give
Him a container of Sir Walter
Raleigh pipe tobacco not
Knowing he is trying to
Give up tobacco but
He is too gracious
To say and later
For my birthday
He gives me a
Chemistry set
In hopes I
May try
Science
Over the
History so
I politely mix
Up a batch of
Hydrogen sulfide
Supplementing the
Approved chemicals
With household items
Mixing concoctions far
Too dangerous to be
Allowed which is a
Clever way to get
Him to say stop
Mixing stuff,
Afterwards
He never
Smokes
And I
Get
To read
More history,
Both of us content.
