A Car

A car came speeding around the bend
Went right through a tree in to my children's bedroom
I was thankful to God this didn't become anyone's tomb.
My house the car did rend.
I was mad at the drunk driver who said Oops! I
Shouldn't make this a trend.
I was wondering when normal conversation would 
Resume.
A car came speeding around the bend
Went right through a tree in to my children's bedroom.
Now the driver is worried that his license could be 
Suspended. 
I was not about to illume
Or remove the gloom.
I was getting furious with his babbling especially
When he said Can we hurry this up I have a party to
Attend.
A car came speeding around the bend
Went right through a tree in to my children's bedroom.

Most drunks don't know they are drunks. Sad write but I like the way you kept repeating your one line. Nice one, Bette:)
