As a little boy my grandpa would say
“Have a camel?” to friends he’d meet.
So I teasingly said this to my grandson
Who replied “O.K. grandpa that would be neat!”
I am glad I didn’t say Chesterfield,
No telling just what he’d bring.
Or even had I said Lucky Strike,
At whom would he take a swing?
Benson and Hedges down from Kent,
Sent out stale smoke wherever they all went.
Newport and Mayfair and Tareyton,
Had The Advantage as Players in the Virginia Slims.
L&M and Lark and also Kool,
All had Merit around the swimming pool.
They had a Basic Ashford Army Club klatch.
All would agree EVE had a very light ash!
I know what a Pall and a Mall means Jane.
And I know where Salem and Newport is.
I sure am glad no smokes were named,
A smooth tasting filtered blend called “Whiz!”
