Please Don't Drink and Drive
By Albert Pelley
(Contact: awp@jubeisplace.net)

DRINK, DRIVE, and SPEED sure don't mix well.
They have five letters each. So does DEATH!
DEATH is often what the end result is.
To drink then drive leads only to regret.

Those who drink and drive just ask for trouble,
For they get behind the wheel and then drive on,
No thought given to the fact that while driving,
A mishap could occur, and they would be DEAD wrong.

Taking chances to some is just a way of living.
In the end this attitude will prove them wrong.
For God gave us a conscience for our guidance,
Remember then we're made of flesh not made of stone.

I remember days gone by when traffic was much lighter,
You could maybe drink and then drive safely on.
These days there's no room for impaired driving.
You're just a loser when your right to drive is gone.

To think straight grows dim with each drink taken.
Common sense must now rule your train of thought.
For YOUR family as well as the OTHER grieving families,
Pay a price when common sense just runs amok.
