Drunken Driving

He was known to be a carefree dandy Once he got boozed up with brandy Driving his new car He felt flying in the air He wailed, “The brake doesn’t come handy” Because of over speed, broke the car’s tier Hit it on a tree with a thud severe Some people came running They saw him screaming In pain, he was springing in the air! He was lifted up in an ambulance, With scars all over his countenance. Some accompanied him Inside it was quite grim He was kept under careful observance Slowly he showed signs of improvement On limp legs, there were signs of movement When steadied in health, Was sad on ill gotten wealth. On wheels, resolved not to be negligent. March.2.2022 Tall Tale 1 Poetry Contest Sponsor- Jeff Kyser
