Alister


Hi, welcome to Alister,

the world's best utopia,

all your troubles will be solved here,

today on our docket we have how to deal with the homeless.

Usually we ignore them, but for the thrill seekers we have some exemptions:

Shake them to wake them,

Push them around if you like,

Break, if they are not broken,

Sort of like a small light,

Dirty and sodden,

Waiting to die,

Finish the job,

You don't have to lie,

Then burn the body,

Don't forget the tag,

Put the ashes away,

Preferrably in a small bag,

Then return to work

to school or to play,

and remember in Alister,

Everyone should enjoy their day.
