Many People Are Addictive

Many people are addictive in some sort of a way Some drink alcohol to excess every day Some due to their addiction to narcotics become involved in crime That culminates in them serving prison time Some with a gambling addiction one of the worst addictions of all Financially bankrupt into disgrace they do fall They lose their homes and forsaken by their wives and children when financially destroyed Some of them depressed and broken end their lives in suicide Many of us have our addictions like our phobias and fears Some are addicted to nicotine and after smoking for years Fall into ill health and have to struggle for breath As they die of lung cancer a slow and painful death I too am addicted to penning of doggerel rhyme And i would be in prison if that were a crime.
