Long Green Overcoats and Late Night Holly Oakes By Lee Cassanell

Never smoke at dinner, Never smoke at dawn, Never smoke somebody's grass or mow somebody's lawn. Never smoke your sister, Never smoke your friends, Save your smokes and smutty jokes for times when gloom descends. Never smoke in public, Don't smoke on your own, Only smoke on scotch and coke or up a tree in Rome.

Smoking's not for softies Smoking's not for girls Smoking kills the pains and ills of this slow smoking world. Never walk on water, Never walk on air, Never walk then try and hop or you'll mess up your hair. Never walk with strangers, Never walk with ghosts, Waste your walk and you will fall before God's pearly posts. Never walk for no-one, Don't walk in the park, Lovers walk and Loners stalk the Lovers in the dark. Walking's not for Princes Walking's not for Earls Walking run's the workers sons of this side walking world Never talk to Judges, Never talk to Police, Never talk on John in court or he'll break both your knees. Never talk round tables, Never talk round squares, I've heard talk that cheese is chalk and custard's made by Birds. Never talk on mobiles, Don't talk all the time, All this talk and drug fuelled hope brings drink and drug fuelled rhyme. Talkings not for thinkers, Talkings only words, Talk is cheap with taking sheep in this fast talking world.
