Reply to [WP] A bar called “The Alibi” that’s notorious for being just that.. an alibi. Often packed with ex-cons, the customers of The Alibi adhere to a silent, but strict, code: If they say they were here, we saw them. They’ll always back an alibi, no questions asked. by JelloStaplerr

The law comes to question you under dim light.

It says, “Tell me, just where were you last night?”

You might respond, “Well, officer, I,

Was drinking last night at the Alibi.”

“Truly,” he mutters, exuding disgrace,

“Not even once have I heard of that place.”

“Surely you have, there on Shoreline and Rye,

A big neon sign reads, ‘The Alibi.’”

Red and blue sirens then drown out Shoreline;

The officers park and look ‘round for the sign.

Do their dismay, you’ve indeed told a lie,

For there is no sign of the Alibi.

One man comes forth, and behind him one more.

They claim to be normals at old Rye and Shore.

“We drink on the daily!” They’re met with a sigh.

“We drink on the daily at the Alibi!”
