Give and get support around quitting
A little creative fun distraction here for those whose quits are in their infancy. Join in with your own rhymes based on old favorites - or new favorites. (I've put this in document form, so anyone should be able to add to the main body of it.) Add a new rhyme or add on a verse to one that's already there and just put your name with the @ sign at the end of it.

Round and round the quit smoking bush
the Elder chased the Newbie
the latter took only one puff
slip goes the Newbie
Six dollars for a cigarette pack
the Reaper is awaiting
the story doesn't have to be
slip goes the newbie
They talked the talk but didn't walk
they should have listened to We
NOPE was not the mantra heard
slip went the Newbie
(Giulia)

Row row row your boat smartly through your quit
watch for rocks and spots ashore
or wreak
and fail your quit

Little Jack Horner, sat in corner
Smoking his Christmas LIE
He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a lung
And said, what a dumb boy am I.
(elvan)
===========================================
Jack be nimble Jack be quick
Jack be humble Jack use your wit
And get rid of the Cancer Sticks!
I'm No Poet!

Slippery Sickorette Flop
Do you have a desire to stop
Were here for you
But you have to do...
The work required of you

Mary had a little cough so Mary used more nicotine until Mary was at cancers door so Mary stepped in and used more and NOW Mary is NO MORE to be found! Love from indin grl (indingrl)

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With tobacco plants, that make the smokes.
To inhale, and spit and cough and sow.
a heavy burden to carry,
what we already know,
The death we have will be scary.
===========================================
OLD mother hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get a smoke from her pack
But when she got there
The cupboard was bare
She'd forgotten she had thrown out her stash
Old Mother hubbard
Got busy instead
And decided to clean out her boot
And with the money she saved
Because she behaved
She can upgrade her house with her loot
Old Mother hubbard
Was wise Ex smoker
She knew she had to share her success
So she joined the EX Site
To help others fight
And I think you can figure the rest
(Mandolinrain)
===========================================
If your quitting and you know it
Read on it
If you really want to stop
Ex is it
If your quitting and you know it
Don't be dumb
And then go blow it
If your quitting an you know it
Read on it!

===========================================
Ring around the cigarette
Puffing is a health threat
Ashes, Ashes
We all fall down
(Giulia)

Here comes Peter Cottontail
He don't smoke and he don't smell
Last I heard, he's doing very' well
He stayed close to EX I see
He's doing well, just like me
If you come here, We'll help you not to fail
(Mandolinrain)
===========================================
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he learned, the less he smoked
The less he smoked the better his hoot
We all can be just as astute!
This wise old owl up in that oak
quit the cigs, took nary a toke
'Twas a strenuous task but worth the while
Each smoke free day brought a new smile.
(Giulia)
===========================================
If you've got a yellow finger save your hand
Stress of smoking's like a giant rubber band
Would you really like to stop or just jump and belly flop
I've seen both, choose the first take a stand
===========================================
Baa Baa Black Sheep have you any smokes?
No ma'am, no ma'am we aren't dopes
None for a craving
None for a whine
With head held high
We know we'll be fine!
(Giulia)
===========================================
Are you smoking ?
Are you chocking ?
Can you stop ?
Want to stop ?
I know how to do it
Its not so bad so do it
Come to Ex
Where advise is best
=================================================
Eeny, meeny, miny, crave
Hold your quit, you be brave
If it hollers do not cave,
There's no need to be it's slave.
(Giulia)

Georgie Porgie smoke in my eye
caused the tears that made me cry
when my quit was here to stay
Georgie Porgie went away.
=================================================
Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pack of smokes

and Jill she croaked
their quits came tumbling after

This smoking you must Stop
Its hard at first
But gets better, not worse
When your cravings get over the shock!
(Mandolinrain)
=================================================
Twinkle Twinkle nicotine

There's no smoke in my eye
Twinkle Twinkle nicotine
No more crutch to which I lean

NOW... your speaking dutch to me. i need instruction.
If you see the Edit icon at the top right, click on it. It should enable you to add the verse directly into the blog itself under the last one there. If you don't see the edit icon, I guess you can't. (You have to be in the document, not just coming at it from your inbox on the site. So click on the title first, then see if the edit box is there.)
Did that work?
I can't do anything;it says document is being edited by mandolinrain.
uh ooo, hope i didn't mess it up. I just went to the edit to add last ditty. Giulia ???HELP
No, you did it right. I just changed the color back to grey (to keep it consistent with the others) and added your name after.
elvan I don't want yours to get lost in comments, so am moving it up there too. After I'm done, you should be able to edit and add. I think it probably was just because Missy was in the process that it didn't work for you.
Depending upon whether this catches on or not, we may not want to put the @ symbol each time next to our names. Otherwise it will clog up inboxes.
