Alcohol
Alcohol, I never drink, at all.
Alcohol, not even in the fall.
Alcohol, may make you fall.
Alcohol, may even, for you, a doctor call.
Alcohol, you may rub it on your skin.
Alcohol, or even, dab it, on your chin.
Alcohol, I cry, never in your eye.
Alcohol, even if you have a stye.
Alcohol, in the radiator of your car.
Alcohol, never when you drive your car.
Alcohol, the judge, for you to pay it all.
Alcohol, never in a party, even with your
wife.
Alcohol, not even with a cube of ice.
Alcohol, take my advice.
Alcohol, better, for you, not to drink at
all.
