Best Drunk Driving Poems
When you drink and drive,
Your Accountability
Is gone. Here and now.
smoke
drink
don't think
woosh
cruise
keep drinking booze
blurry light flash
bash
crash
sober
no more hangover
went to far over
could i live
live infecting innocent lives
washing away hopes and dreams
how can i be looked up to
how can i be a father
knowing i killed my own daughter
car wreckes are the #1 cause of deaths
25% of those are drunk drivers please be
safe and save a life
Form:
Slam goes the door he is home
Kaplunk he sinks on sofa alone
Drunk driving again no doubt hiccup so loud
Dinner is ready I churp how was your day at work?
Awful they’re oozing my very life outta me
It’s their fault I need a gulp to get relief
Won’t you come to the table and nibble
Honey I don’t want food lets not quibble
Fine drink your life away slurp
Crash goes a dinner plate burp
I don’t want to fight but wack
Never give me a tongue thrash
How dare you give me a slap
I am leaving you that is a wrap.

Wrongfully wheel with wanton wills which wastefully works
By Author
In the aftermath of his tragic fate
When adding two plus two is too late
I don't understand drunk drivers
Why risk it all and leave survivors
Now he's resting at a funeral home
Lifeless because of a unwise syndrome
Yet yesterday he's weaving on a thread
And today he's knitted his fate, he's dead
I saw her standing by the door
after school waiting for her ride
I waved and said
“Au revoir” as I passed by
It was all I had time for
on my way to French Club
I was always in a rush then
considering my future
what more I could do to stand out
on college and scholarship
applications
hoping to escape the poverty
that had plagued my family
for generations
I’d be the first to go
I couldn’t know
the next time I’d see her
would be in a casket
my childhood crashing to an end
at the age of fourteen
exactly a week
before my fifteenth birthday
like the car that killed her
driven by a drunk
sentenced to
a mere seven years
only serving two
for taking the one true friend
I’d ever had
away from me forever
Au revoir means
until I see you again
Chems ponders his need for a taste; none of his regular pick-uppers are afoot.
He really wants his fifth, and he knows he is not supposed to drive, but….
Who will know? It is only a few miles to the liquor store.
You are not that drunk, he tells himself. You need a taste. He looks at the clock.
The liquor store will be open in twenty-seven minutes.
He can be there in eight minutes.
He settles back down, and his eyes close.
His angels keep him that way until they can bring him home.
Knowing he would have not only have killed himself that day, but a family of five.
Grandmother’s prayers have kept this family alive, once again.
