There once was a girl named Suzzie.
I guess you could say Suzzie
was missing some vital screws in her younger years.

All day and all night, Suzzie would amuse to enthuse,
until the point of misuse.
Before finding herself reusing.
Relapsing into that old familiar abuse.  

You could say, Suzzie wasn't content in her life.
Hell-bent on the decent into torment.
***... violence... drugs...
And to what extent...  
Consenting to the need?
Proceeding to only concede?

The black bead...
The devilish ****.
A seed to heed warning too.

All day and all night, Suzzie would churn.
Yearning for her upturn,
for the point of no return.

Instead Suzzie turned her life around.
A full 360.
She learned, to earn.
Spurred by her yearning and churning,
of a childhood induced coma.

Kindness; rightness...
The mere brightness all from Suzzie's mindset.
A guidance from the righteous highness.

She's won her inner crisis at last!

"Bye, bye Black Tar, Suzzie!"

"Hello, the newer better you!"

He came as super bunny
She,...Cinderella in red and lovely
Tom and Violet were milk and honey
Alex and Suzzie, quite a beauty
At the Drunken Pig again
Garden with beautiful flowers perfectly lain
Four years and what they have is bare
And now back to Alamo Square
Wham! Alex and Suzzie did
In that time they got two kids
Wham! Gideon also did
And violet is four again you see
Worst choice is no choice at all
San francisco through Michigan through the fall
Clam-bar to Michigan took all four
As Tom and Violet chose to fall
Four years is like violet
Help tell Violet and Tom
Violet is fair and priceless
Someone please call 9-1-Yum
