Strange Poem

Here is a poem I wrote for school. It's about how to brush your teeth.

How to Brush Your Teeth

Your mouth has slush
So get the toothbrush.
Put on toothpaste
It has a great taste.
Brush on teeth place
It’s a crazy case.
Back and forth, up and down
Circle, circle all aroun’.
Rinse mouth with water
Spit it out, all better.
Rinse off your brush
Put it away, no more slush

Smoking

Smoking In 2006, a total of 2,426,264 deaths were reported in the United States. Over 443,000 of those deaths were as a result of smoking. Around 50,000 of those deaths were from secondhand smoke. Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death. It is a prime factor in heart disease, stroke and chronic lung disease. It can cause cancer of the lungs, larynx, oesophagus, mouth, and bladder, and contributes to cancer of the cervix, pancreas, and kidneys. 26.2 million men (23.5 percent) and 20.9 million women (18.1 percent) in the world are smokers. Some adults do not see the harm in smoking around their children since they are not the ones that are puffing the cigarette. However, this myth is very wrong. Second hand smoke increases the chance of getting a heart disease by up to 30%. Children can also develop severe bronchitis as well as asthma. Secondhand smoke can cause harm in many ways.
