Al Luvis Woke Up is an adult fable written as a simple children's book. It is a satire of the obvious issues in our current political climate told in rhyme with colorful pictures so as to not overcomplicate the lessons. Al Luvis Woke Up lampoons a long list of subjects: voter apathy, political party absolutism, bank fees, the two-party system, money superseding the needs of the people, and so much more. It is the story of a guy who wakes up from a long nap only to find that his world is nothing like it was when he fell asleep.
Once upon a time, in the base of a tree,
A man settled in and went fast asleep.
He slept for so long... what seemed like ages.
For all of this sleeping he became very famous.
Parades and picnics, celebration and song,
A national holiday for him sleeping so long.
Nothing lasts forever. It can feel quite abrupt.
This is the story of when he woke up.
