The Drunk Club

Got pulled by a cop who said
I was driving to fast.
Said  do ya mind  taking a sobriety test.
Officer is it okay if I just passed?

Blew a high number now here in the clink 
I am.
Met some really great folks  from a strung out junkie
to a old wino called sam.

Met some guy called Gary who asked if he could 
give me a back rub?
Spending the night in the clink with the rest
of the drunk club.

Started reflecting were my life went wrong.
Guess it was after this cop busted me.
Now im getting sober and sappy as some 
eightys love song.

It sucks being in here.
Sleeping light and gaurding your rear.

Im getting sick of serving this sentance can 
we bring in a sub?
Tired of being caged for having fun.
Never did I ask to become a memeber of the drunk club.

Watch out for Gary, John, and guard your "rear." Had some great laughs reading this one. Hope you never become a "member of the drunk club," especially a group that's facing jail bars instead of frequenting local bars. (Pardon the pun. Couldn't resist!) Love, carolyn
