2017 - The ballad of pork scratchings

New strategies to help me quit smoking
Last night in the pub I had a coffee
To start with, then ONE pint, thus allowing
Legitimate beer intake, moderately
And then, I thought, and that thought was the key
I don't need a drink now, my thirst has gone
But what would be perfect next after the
Alcohol, would be a snack, so there's some-
Thing to consume as I sat looking on
At the acts, and this food could start soaking
Up the beer, shrinking its efficacy
Leading me away from drunkenness, when
I'm vulnerable to the weak-willed buying
Of a pack of ten. Pork scratchings for me!
