Mr Jack Daniels and His Cohort Mr Beer Drove Me Here

MR. JACK DANIELS and his cohort Mr. BEER DROVE ME HERE

I decided to take me a on a little road trip
Just me and Jack Daniels so I took me a sip
Mr. Daniels with a chaser I didn’t need
And neither Jack nor I knew where the road would lead

At mile marker number fifteen I drank me some more
Jack told me I needed some food so we stopped at a store
Bought me some bologna, cheese and a six pack of beer
Revved up my ride and threw her in gear

Mr. Daniels demanded I go a lot faster
And pretty soon  that bottle became my master 
A nip of Jack and a  sip of beer is all I required
Some people might have but  I never grew tired

The road stretched before us as if it were our guide
Exactly where we were headed we didn’t decide
Mr. Daniels sat next  to me insisting where I steer
While in the back seat sat a silent six pack of  beer

Jack and the beer began having some convoluted conversation
But I told them both to shut up or I’d lose my concentration
I held tightly to the wheel as we sped down the road
and when Mr. Daniels said "faster" i should have thought "slowed"

My vehicle vied with a violation of the law
We wanted to go to a flick  but ended up at that store
Days later when I finally got home I cursed Mr. Daniels for what he had willed
And then the Judge gave me eight to ten for the four people I killed

Delysia Hendricks May 4, 2011 at 3:57 PM lol. Dang Messrs Daniels and Beer. Consider yourself lucky for walking but eight to ten for killing four people. Your pockets must have been deep enough to buy the judge (wink, wink). See my "Poetic Justice". Well-written with an easy rhyming flow. :))
