The Consequences of Drinking & Driving

Dedicated To: Uncle John
I used to have a cool uncle
He never took life for granted
When the world handed him a lemon he made lemonade
You see he got drunk at a party
His friends tried everything to stop him from driving
He just was too drunk to focus
He ran his motorcycle into a wall
He left a grieving family
and dogs
Please don't get in a car with someone who is drunk
If you are drunk don't drive
And save a life
