Destination, Midnight

Destination midnight,
                     a new year,
                           and time to close.
               I feel sick and don't want to be here,
                            what a holiday,
                                   again, 
                                   alone.

                              Eleven thirty,
                                   really,
                    it was eleven twenty five,
                      like a half an hour ago.
                                   Busy, 
                         A worker bee drone,
                 struggling to find his way home.

                                   Finally,
                                  I'm free,
                      sober and walking home.
                          I spot my boy in his 
                                    black
                               Jeep Liberty,
                              drunk driving.
                     Swerving all over the road.
                                     "YO"
                                  he yells,
                        with an intoxicated tone.
                                So, I drove
                               the half mile
                        to my lake side abode.

                                   My room-mates had an itch,
                        For a New Year kiss,
               unwilling to miss
this drunken colliegate mix.
                         
I too needed a fix!!!

          Capa Alpha Zeta,
                        Beer pong & 
                                  Crunk dance. 
                     Drunken conversations loom,
             young adults yearn, 
   seeding thier late night romance.

To be Continued.....
"Destination, Jeep"

Sounds like you had an interesting New Year's experience, Jared. I was looking for part two in "Destination Jeep" but couldn't find it. Enjoy those college days while you can, but don't drink and drive because we'd hate to lose you. Love, Carolyn
