No More Drinking For Me

Driving home from the liquor store,
       completely void of worry,
I reached behind for my bag of weed
 and I felt something large and furry.

I couldn't remember taking the cat,
though my memory often fails me.
I was sure a monster was in the back
and at any moment was planning to kill me.

I drove my truck into a field
and jumped quickly out of my cab
I thought this animal was for real
and any moment would surely attack

I laid there hid in the bushes
for it must have been an hour
I wanted to run but couldn't. 
I was afraid of being devoured. 

I mustered up the strength I'd lacked
to approach my truck of horror.
I was holding my prized case double X
and was crouched down like a soldier.

I screamed to scare whatever I'd find
as I jumped threw the open door
I  knew that I may not survive
and my life might surely be over.

Holding my weapon overhead
I attacked my enemy quick
and stabbed my villian to his death
and scattered him all over my seats.

I'll never drink again. I swear.
and no more weed for me.
All because of that Teddy Bear
my wife hid behind the seat.

Whatever it takes to get one to seek better is a blessing my friend, : )May God fill you with His joy, love, and peace . That one tries to get away from this world with substances,. God can pull one out of it with a new mind , spirit, and purpose for life.
