Jack Daniels and Shiner Bock

By beauteincendie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Driving from a party Eager to get in bed A young and handsome man His whole life lay ahead His fiancee sat beside him And together made some plans For the wedding and a honeymoon Each made a few demands Some asshole of a person Was driving with his friends The car was filled with bottles And he with loads of attitudes He was on his tenth drink Of Jack Daniels and Shiner Bock He didn't look where he was going And drove straight off the rock The young and happy couple Were busy picking songs They didn't hear the awful screaming Which resembled howling dogs The couple was at the bottom As the drunken driver fell He smashed into the couples' car And not a soul was well The cops were hurried to the site To survey the gruesome scene Then followed mighty EMS To save and heal and clean The handsome man's fiancee died But the driver, he did not The man sat and wondered madly Why should she be the one to rot? A nurse came in the room Where the grieving sick man lay She told him she had news And he better start to pray Your fiancee was five months pregnant The nurse said with a sigh And if we dont take action quickly Your baby boy might die Surprise and shock filled his face He didnt believe the nurse The only thing I want to hear, he says Is the monster who did this leaves in a hearse The nurse sat there astounded Maybe he hadnt heard correctly So she explained to him a second time And this time he looked up with joy I want to save my son, he said Just tell me what shall I do please So she told him about the operation And he fell forward on his knees She got him on the bed Slapped the man to wake him up This is an important decision, she yelled His time is almost up! He told her he'd do anything So she gave doctors permission And the surgeons worked for the boy While the father lie without expression Several hours passed by Then the nurse came to visit She woke him from his slumber And exclaimed we think he'll make it The man juped with excitement And let emotions flow He laughed, cried, then began to sob As the world began to slow He fell back to the bed And his pressure continued to drop His last thoughts were of his son And his fiancee lying before the cop He died and left his son Without a family or a name And the drunk driver lived on But went to jail without fortune or fame He sat there in his filthy cell Thinking about his wasted life About his five and many kids And pain that wouldn't heal in time Why would you ever drink and drvie?I was listening to KJ-97, I guess that's where I got the idea. Let's hear it for the country ppl!....what? Written August 6th, 2001 © on Aug 07 2001 06:54 AM PST   0 • 1
