ALCOHOL

A-Alcohol, what a terrible thing!

L-Life flows away, the more you drink.

C-Carefully, we tip-toe around you when you are in this state,

O-Only to avoid the drunken rages.

H-Happily you sit there, glass in hand.

O-Only I realise what is about to follow...

L-Lie to you, I do, to keep this broken family together!
