Giving Up Smoking - Wendy Cope

There's not a Shakespeare sonnet
Or a Beethoven quartet
That's easier to like than you
Or harder to forget.

You think that sounds extravagant?
I haven't finished yet -
I like you more than I would like
To have a cigarette.

===============================

Unsurprisingly, Wendy Cope (b.1945) gave up smoking shortly before writing this poem. She writes, "People who have never been addicted to nicotine don't understand what an intense love poem it is."

  5. However, just like clothing, jewelry colors must be tailored to the individual wearer to complement her
    natural features best. On vintage jewelry, the type and quality of the gemstones is of particular importance to final price determination.

    A pearl collar generally contains 2 or more strands (often 3 or more) and sits right in the middle of your neck.

  6. My programmer is trying to persuade me to move
    to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety of
    websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
    I have heard good things about blogengine.net.

    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  11. Yes, tell everyone you know to look on the web for e-cigarettes to check how massive
    this industry is, and how big the choice is for
    these wonderful products is. What really annoys me,
    though, are the increasing number of articles in the major press saying how dreadful
    they are. Apparently drugs firms - the producers of stop-smoking products are supporting an anti e-vape battle
    - not so much the fag companies (as you might think)
    - as many tobacco producers are starting to secretly manufacture them.
    I can FEEL the benefits of e cigarettes. Just saying - that
    there is always some reason with big companies trying to prohibit e
    cigs ... the EU people could do a lot more too. This makes me annoyed.
    Thanks "Giving Up Smoking - Wendy Cope".

  16. Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using?
    I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design seems different
    then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
