Driving You To Drink... Poem by Gordon David

I was stupid, yes I know
To drive your Ford Mondeo
I was going far too fast
I had done this in the past
I’d only had a few beers
It gets rid of all my fears
I never saw the baby
Was I speeding? Yes maybe
I was texting on my phone
I’d been drinking on my own
The car would not stop in time
A dead baby is my crime
I’d downed a couple of beers
I’m sorry for all the tears
I did not mean to hit her
I’ve had my chips and Bitter

I don’t drive now, I’m a fool
Taking chances is not cool
Now I’m sitting in my cell
In my head, I burn in Hell
