A DRUNKEN NIGHTMARE
A PATIENT HAD A DREAM SHE RELAPSED AND GOT DRUNK:
TELLING ME THE STORY HER SPIRITS WERE SO LOW AND SUNK;
FOR FOUR WEEKS SHE HAS WORKED HER PROGRAM TO HER BEST:
NOW IN HER NIGHTMARE SHE FELT SHE FAILED THE SOBRIETY TEST:
SHE DREAMED THAT HER INSURANCE SENT HER A LETTER THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER HER COST:
SHE FELT SO ANGRY UPEST AND LOST;
IN HER DREAM TO GET EVEN SHE SAID SHE WOULD GET BACK AT THEM BY GETTING SKUNKING DRUNK:
SHE SAID SHE DIDNT DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE A WORTHLESS PUNK:
AS WE TALKED AND TALKED SHE CAME TO REALIZE:
TO GET BACK AT SOMEONE ELSE FOR A WRONG THEY DID TO YOU TO GET EVEN WASNT PRACTICAL OR WISE:
THE NIGHTMARE FOR HER WAS DEFINATELY AN EYE OPENER:
WITH MORE RESOLVE AND COMMITMENT IT HAS LEFT HER FOR SURE:
THE STINKIN THINKING THAT COMES OVER OUR MIND EVEN IN A DREAM:
IS JUST SO UNFAIR IT SEEMS:
THIS SOBRIETY GAME :
IS NOT AN EASY JOURNEY WITHOUT PAIN:
BUT I KNOW THE MORE MINUTES AND HOURS AND DAYS AND MONTHS AND YEARS UNDER YOUR BELT SECURE;
WILL STRENGTHEN YOUR COMMITMENT AND RESOLVE FOR SURE:
THE NIGHTMARE SHE HAD WAS A BLESSING IN DISQUISE;'
IT HAS LEFT HER EYES WIDE OPEN AND MORE SOBER AND WISE:
WITH ALCOHOL ADDICTION:
YOU MUST FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE HAVE A CONVICTION:
THAT TO EVEN DRINK ONE SIMPLE DROP:
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE THAT DEAD YOU WILL DROP:
YA GOTTA LOOK AT ALCOHOL AS POISON THAT WILL KILL:
IT WILL BRING YOU DEATH NOT THRILL:
THIS DRUNKEN NIGHTMARE JUST MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOUR TRUE LIFE BLESSING IN DISQUISE:
KEEPING YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE HAPPY SOBER AND WISE:
