Reason A. Poteet Poet Free verse

Meanwhile

Bob’s accident was not "too" bad;
young lady with both legs broken.
Driving on drugs, he’s ultra rad;
“Go to Rehab,” judge has spoken.
Meanwhile... she goes to rehab too;
Bev learns to walk again, wahoo.

When laws and legs guys freely break,
what’s “legit” walks off the pages.
Their lawyers give this bellyache, 
“We don’t put addicts in cages!”
Meanwhile... last time Bob tests a tort,
Bev appears as lawyer in court.

Poteet May 26, 2018 at 9:11 PM thank you, Anne-Lise, only a person who wants rehab will benefit from it for very long. Someone I know spent 30 days drying out from drugs at a cost of $10,000 and the week he got out, he was back on them again.
