Drunk Decisions


“Driving while drunk is preventable, 

You can drink if you want, 

You can drive if you’d like, 

But doing both will forever haunt.” 

 

“Ten thousand lives taken a year, 

By doing this terrible action, 

Twenty-nine people die a day, 

One mistake and your body won’t function.” 

 

“Driving while drunk is preventable, 

You can drink if you want, 

You can drive if you’d like, 

But doing both will forever haunt.” 

 

“Someone dies every five minutes, 

Drunk driving is something you shouldn’t do, 

Someone gets injured every two minutes, 

Next one to die could be you.” 

 

“Driving while drunk is preventable, 

You can drink if you want, 

You can drive if you’d like, 

But doing both will forever haunt.” 

 

“Only time will make you sober, 

So, a good option is to wait, 

Uber is always an option, 

Or else you’ll never meet your soulmate.” 

 

“Thanks for the guidance, 

You are a good adviser, 

Now I’ll be on my way, 

As l am a good driver.” 

 

“He was given the advice, 

Which he chose to block out, 

But now he is no more, 

As he took the wrong route.”
