BOOZER IN A BODY BAG<\/p>\n

Cell by cell, that’s how it goes,
\nWhen you get hung up on the drink,
\nContinue burning out your brain,
\nSoon you won’t be able to think.<\/p>\n

That’s just the beginning, friend,
\nHave you thought about your liver?
\nIf you keep downing all that booze,
\nMany functions it will not deliver.<\/p>\n

God gave you a very good body,
\nYou are required to treat it well,
\nIf you foolishly break all His laws,
\nDown the river of death you’ll sail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
