Alfonzo and the rake

I am weak,
but Alfonzo is weaker.
He is the kind of guy that leaves the teeth of a rake sticking up then steps on it
and it hits him in the face.
I am the kind of guy that leaves the teeth of a rake sticking up then forgets its there
and I have to go buy another rake.
If Alfonzo was still allowed on my property,
he would step on my rake;
he would hit himself in the face
and I would not have to buy another rake.

This is all based on real events.
Alfonzo and I used to rake together a lot,
professionally.
Alfonzo made a lot of money but lost most of it on hospital bills.
I made more money but spent it all on new rakes.
When it came time to throw my bachelor party
it really sucked and we decided to it another time.
That time never came.

When I got divorced Alfonzo was there.
He had to be there, weweremarried.
But the money hadn't stayed put
so neither could I.

If I were to kill Alfonzo, I would use a rake.
That way it would look like he did it himself.
But I won't kill Alfonzo
because I can't find him.
I think he's moved to Brazil somewhere.
The raking industry is good down there.

The rake: Lraccus scratus illmillionaire
Alfonzo: Alfonzo Rapunzel el Durmienteér
I: I, I, I, I am the wind and the rain the rain and the air

And we together...
and we together..
and we together.

I am weak wind,
but Alfonzo is weaker wind.
We live out the window and bounce off the window and.
He is the kind of guy that leaves the brush of a rake sticking up then steps on it
and it hits him in the face.
I am the kind of guy that leaves the brush of a rake sticking up then forgets its there
and moves onto other brush.
If Alfonzo was still allowed on my property,
he would find me and tell me he loved me.
He would hit himself in the face
and I would not have to try and draw a line in mid-air.

Alfonzo and I used the rake to gather the brush a lot,
sometimes professionally, sometimes not.
Alfonzo made me happy, but lost most of his skill in the hospital
and I made more happiness, but, spent, it was all short lived.
When it came time to throw my bachelor party we threw the brush in the air
and we really sucked but we couldn't get it down.
To the best of my knowledge, it never came down.

When I got divorced from Alfonzo
We had to go to Brazil.
It is very difficult to divorce gases and it takes special kind of scientist.
That was the rest of the money,
and that was the rest of me
in that state.

If I were to kill Alfonzo, would have to not be divorced.
That way it would look like he did it himself.
But I won't kill Alfonzo
because I can't find him.
I think he's moved to Brazil somewhere.
He's always moving.
He doesn't know how not to.
I knew one way not to
and that's why I had the divorce.

The rake left us,
and I couldn't afford another one.
Alfonzo, Alfonzo Rapunzel el Durmienteér,
left us.
to travel the currents, the waves and the seas.
And I, I, I, I, I am the wind and the rain the rain and the air
that never came down.

And we are not together,
anymore.

Sometimes I call him Aflonzo.
