Love Potion #10 - drug guide

This rhyme's a little bit more of a bumpy ride than
the "Ballad of G-Head Clampet" but somebody might
appreciate it.

If you never heard the song "Love Potion Number Nine"
then don't even bother reading this post. You gotta
know the tune to make it worth taking this ride.

Usual disclaimers apply, I don't know Daniel Pelchat,
never ordered anything from him, don't even know if he
ever even sold anything in his life. I just made
all this up based on stuff I read on an internet
discussion group on creative writing.

If this stuff was true though it would all be the
rhyme-master's own damn fault and not Daniel Pelchat's
and certainly not the fault of Love Potion Number 10.

========================================

I took my troubles down to Daniel Pelchat
He was expensive, but was a really cool cat

The shit he sold was legal when I bought it back then
What he was sellin' was - Love Potion Number 10

You probably heard about Love Potion Number 9
That you could buy right down at Thirty-Fourth and Vine

From that gypsy woman with the gold-capped tooth
If I remember right her name was Madame Ruth

But there's a stronger potion and it costs a little more
you probably wouldn't drink it if you really knew the score

"Love Potion Number 10" makes you forget about sin
once you buy it and you try it, it will surely suck you in-

to a vortex where all that matters is fun
and forgettin' about any bad things you've done

It makes life seem just all fine and dandy,
It makes you laugh and smile, it's a tastey brain candy

I don't suggest you try it if you ever get the notion
It fills your head with lotsa sweet fun fake emotion

This potion isn't black, it shines like mother-of-pearl
It makes you fall in love with "the elephant girl"

For five hours she's "Liv Tyler" and you look like "Brad Pitt"
If she starts lookin' homely you just take another "hit"

For a few precious hours life is perfect happiness
filled with smiles and hugs - and pure synthetic bliss

But nothing good lasts forever, I wish that was the case
Once the drug wears off reality slaps you in the face

If you're feeling lonely and you really need a hug
all you gotta do is take that magic drug

The gods bargain hard, if you want true happiness
That drug will cost you everything, they won't settle for less

you'll lose your job, your soulmate, you'll lose your self-respect
you'll make some big mistakes that you never can correct

I got lots more to say about "Love Potion Number 10"
But I'm running out of time, maybe we can talk again

I gotta stop the shakes with more tequila and lime
All I got left is - my ability to rhyme

lol, if you've read some of my other posts
you know i'm not anti-GHB. It IS a magic
potion, but VERY easy to abuse and I abused
it BIG TIME. like I usually say, I love Gina but
she moved out of town so I can't hug her no
more so now *I* am a sad booze hound. :o(
