Three Beers...

I was in the area.. so decided to stop by
and see him at work..one day around lunchtime.
there you sat in your jeep.. so i got in,
you seemed surprised but happy to see me..
You opened your lunchbox, and my heart grew cold and weak
it was empty save for three beers and a mickey of cc ..
Seeing the look on my face.. You said please don't look
at me with that look of disappoinment..
And then offered me a drink.. it was 1145 am..
I drove home in a fog, emotions running the gamut.
dissapointment, fear and anger.. overwhelming me..
And wondering about the people who would be driving
the same highway, a few short hours later that day..
Never suspecting that the nice looking man in the black jeep
had just had a liquid lunch that day.

So much senseless tradgedy could be avoided if we all made the choice to NOT drink and drive!
