The Lyrics

OS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th-QbzRyMIE
“Affluenza,” “affluenza” is a named ruse,
for a dreck-dense defense dredged up shyster-style.
It is Texas that’s the nexus for this shamed ruse. . .
ginned up “affluenza” for a kid that’s vile.

Four folks died; he ran ’em over: alco-enza.
Punk was drunk—four innocent lives did depart.
Shysters schemed till they thought up this lore dreck:
“People died there, but please try fair.
Mom and dad caused the freak's ‘affluenza.’
He’s never told what’s right, what’s wrong.
So have a heart!”

With skunk mother, punk sought cover; all flew, went t’
Mexico, got prepped to go, then did depart.
But their scheme was at its seamy core dreck. . .
couldn’t hide there, this reviled pair.
Mom and son not gone long in absentia.
Two wretched trolls are oh so wrong;
proceedings start.

“Affluenza,” law-ruse stencher.

"I don't know the difference between right and wrong"- 555??? Great to see you back JAB. I recently passed the 3000 mark! Only the second to do so ;-)

"Dreck-dense defense". You always did bring style and class to this site. My brother said that this kid was found with a gun in the hotel room when the Mejicanos caught up with him. That alone would be enough to land him a lengthy stretch in a juzgado that would make him wish the US authorities had caught up with him first. I wonder if the kid was eating Twinkies while driving.

Thanks JAB, but I'll going back to a slow down now. I did 377 parodies in 2015 instead of my normal 850. I'm beyond burned out. Btw, you are never in any danger from me. I do not want to be Number 1 here. I'm satisfied I reached the 3000s. You are still THE MASTER here JAB!!! I have 708 Spells!
