Think B4 You Drink

This night is pointless to me
You feel like you’re free
While you’re out having fun
I’m at home without my Hun
You go out and get trashed
Next thing you know… you have crashed
I rush to the scene
Those cops are so mean
I see you laying there
You didn’t even make it to fair
Why didn’t you stay at the house?
You could have caught that mouse
Now you are in a bag
They wipe up your blood with rag
That car crashed and rolled
Your body is so cold
Why did you go out and drink
All you had to think
You could have still been alive
Then your life could have thrived
But, you got trashed and high
Now to this world you say GOODBYE!

It's sad to lose a friend this way, Marc. Drinking makes me sick (stomach) so I can't relate to the pleasure some people find in getting drunk. Obviously, there are consequences for this behavior and your poem issues a wise warning. Love, Carolyn
