    Lost in Snus's Sweet Company...

    Many historical personages and characters, some even great stalwart men indeed, have paid homage with their pen unto Lady Nicotine. In keeping with this immemorial and most esteemed tradition, I submit for your pleasure:

    Lost in Snus's Sweet Company

    As my bleary eyes open after sleep profuse,
    I take a pinch of my trusty snus.
    During morning coffee in tepid bath,
    I pay homage to ol' Gotland with a knowing wink, a laugh.

    To work or wheree're I may go,
    I'll surely keep two cans in tow.
    No trouble is too great, no annoyance too grievous
    When by such fortune Sweet Snus my mouth receiveth.

    When hunger's clutch causes my stomach to wrench,
    You'll surely see good Roda betwixt my fingers clench'd.
    And when torrents of rain and snow beat down upon me,
    I huddle safely warm, inflamed with the forbidden passion of Nick (& Johnny).

    For all times of sadness -- nay, even god-forsaken misery
    The General proffers fortitude to those brave soldiers in need.
    Mighty as a God astride his battle-torn steed of righteous might,
    He adds strength and vigor to brave souls in their darkest plight.

    And suddenly, the clouds depart, my grief expires. I am a new man,
    And I thank my kind friends, Good Mr. Skruf and Sir Ettan.
    In all social occasions I make certain my integrity to protect,
    But I find that quite easy, for snusing begets perfect etiquette.

    My daily strife completed in ease, I pause in a moment's introspect,
    A ginger stroke of gloved finger upon my tin proceeds the solemn duty left,
    My feral snarl, lips curled, my eyes wild with a bestial need
    I sigh as I take my nightcap pris,

    and I dream,
    lost in Snus's Sweet Company.

      I'd weep at the beuty of it, if my testosterone allowed me to.
      Great poem, very clever.
      "Forbidden passion of Nick (& Johnny)" :lol:

          Bravo!!!!

          Excellent poem my friend! I wish I could be as elloquent. When I try, it looks like instructions:

          Open can, and remove portion.
          Place in upper lip, close can.
          While in lip, experience emotion,
          When done, remove. Now your a fan!

          :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock:

            Nice poem, indeed! - very much in the 18th and 19th century tradition of laudatory odes to tobacco.

            And now, for something completely silly, I composed, first, a limerick, then a bit of doggerel. WARNING: these are real groaners

            ------------------------------------
            PART THE FIRST - A Limericke for the general amusement of mi good Lordes and Ladyes heere assembled. [ahem . . . cracks knuckles]:

            "What a wonderful item is snus!
            I love it, whether portion or loose.
            “It's dangerous,” prudes tell you;
            Nicorette they would sell you,
            But they're merely being obtuse!"

            Ah, please, thank you . . . . stop, no really, thank you, there's no need . . . . . .

            PART THE SECOND - a bit of Doggerel whose silliness and irrelevance is nowhere to be surpassed:

            "McCain fans are reds,
            Obama fans are blues,
            But here at this forum,
            We're all fans of snus!"

            Sorry about this - couldn't help myself [totters off snickering to self]

              AirWoodstock: I think that snus companies should use that format for their actual instructions.

              Snusbear: A mighty fine limerick indeed! Definitely in keeping with that particular tradition. I think we should use this thread for all of our "Odes to Snus."

              Cheers
