Made Any Difference Listen Janet Kuypers written 04/26/11, edited 09/05/11 So I’m at my bar I just overheard that another guy in the past few months now, this is grapevine but I need to see him he went out for a smoke I walked up to him I reached my hand out he offered me a new one then holding his smoke I talked about his wife and I don’t want to but we care for him he said I was right then holding his smoke handed me his smoke I stood there a while wondering if I my favorite hang-out from people talking who’s always here has had a few strokes I just heard snippets put in my two cents and even though I don’t after he lit up toward his cigarette but... I wanted his I told him I heard asked about his kids get on a high horse here we want him happy he’ll take some time off said that he should quit and then walked away sucking nicotine made any difference Copyright © 2011 Janet Kuypers.
