Al What a Pal

AL ::::: WHAT A PAL ?? I will assume you know AL, to many he's a pal A fake friend to the end, to the grave he will send :::::::::: Your liver and heart and brain, everything You relationships, job prospects, lost respects :::::::::! Love turns to hate, decency turns to derelict Kisses lessen, distance replaces caresses ::::::::!! Love turns to hate, no one could anticipate AL would enter as a friend, fun and relaxing When he's around, life less taxing :::::::!!! All your troubles drown with the AL effect So sad and down till AL came around ::::::!!!! Soon you need AL around more and more He fills up the cracks and loosens the tacks of life :::::!!!!! You'll laugh till you pee, then fall on your knees Then punch a perfect stranger, not ALs' fault your in danger ::::!!!!!! Your speech is now slurred, speaking with nasty words That Al is something else, he'll even drive you to your house :::!!!!!!! He must not have driven very much, we just hit a mailbox OOPS, just puked on the seat, can't feel my feet ::!!!!!!!! Where do I live AL ?? He can't remember either More and more AL fills up your life Much to dismay of the kids and wife :!!!!!!!!! BUT !!! BEWARE !!! AL does NOT care about you HE'S A FIEND, NOT A FRIEND !! !!!!!!!!!! He's not satisfied until your life, and all his BFFs Is blurred and slurred, boiled and soiled !!!!!!!!!!!! Fake and fractured, submerged in the crapper Al promised to make all your problems go away Now every damn day is worse than yesterday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More troubles than before, and more AL NEEDS TO DIE AND DROWN !!! Only then will my life turn around !!!!!!!!!!!!!! AL IS NOT YOUR PAL
