Poetic Verses
Drinking and Driving
He kept taking glances at the clock each hour of the day
Hope that he could finish with a minimum of delay
Feeling quite happy about getting the invitation
To what may turn out to be somewhat like a reunion.
It was good to know that many of his friends and school mates will be there
Oh! What news to share and even find time for those stories to compare
About family, children their progress and even about their professions
The successes, failures and the direction they plan on going.
Whilst the music was playing, drinks flowing and also the dancing
There was quite audible the sound of such happy and joyful laughing
Because there was John voice always loud whenever he spoke
Was always keep everyone entertain with his seemingly endless supply of jokes.
Sitting in corner was that guy Sam, now clutching a bottle of water in his hand
There he was now a shadow of what was once a very athletic man
Formerly a drinker of liquor, but this to him has certainly deliver
A telling blow, now he was diagnosed with a very cirrhotic liver
As the music played and the partied got swinging and livelier
As Peter imbibed he felt better and spirits even got lighter
With all inhibitions gone, now also that ability to clearly think
So of course there was no way of monitoring the number of drinks.
Those around noticed his sudden manner to be very obnoxious
Added to this there was also signs of getting obstreperous
So the bartender intervene and in a way quite pleasantly
Suggested that he should later go home by a taxi
Taxi he replied, I feel as fresh as though I have now arrive
And for over ten year, I was able to get home when I drink and drive
So therefore, when the party ends and it's time for me to depart
The only time I will be driven home, if my car refused to start.
Not to be challenged, he slipped away about a few minutes before party ends
On his way home, he had to be able to negotiate lots of bends
Being under the influence, the turning created a bit of confusion
Therefore his car went air bound when he turned in the wrong direction.
