On the many occasions, I really endeavoured
To give up the weed- then, in spite of the weather
To the streets I was driven, to satisfy my greed
I snatched up soggy dog-ends –did I smoke them?
YES INDEED!
I cared not who saw me
My children implored
as they witnessed my addiction - their pleas I ignored.
'Maggie set the scene for our smoking cessation conference with a wonderful, insightful poem that expressed her personal experiences as a smoker and now ex-smoker with honesty and humour. Her creative account and engaging delivery provided the meeting with just the right balance of sincerity and humour, expressed with real feeling.'
