A Cigar is like a Wife
Originally published in the November
1916 edition of A Dictionary of Similes.
A cigar is like a wife!
Put it up to your lips, and light it;
When youve learned to do it right, it
Adds a certain zest to life.
Mind you keep on puffing it,
Or its out, and cant be lit.
Ah, the aroma!
Ah, the glow!
Will I have one?
Thank you, No.
