You studied hard with all your might, <br />You passed first time because you're bright. <br />But then upon that fateful night <br />You drank too much - an extra print. <br /> <br />You drove straight on instead of right <br />You failed to see the bollard bright, <br />Or the police car's flashing light. <br />Your speed was fast, you held on tight. <br /> <br />You smashed a tree - we felt your pain <br />And you will never drive again. <br />You fought to live with all your might, <br />But life said 'No', you lost the fight. <br /> <br />Now your're buried under ground <br />Where drunken drivers can be found. <br />At twenty-one you were so smart, <br />Now you've broken mother's heart. <br />We'll pine for you for ever more, <br />Why did you have to break the law?<br /><br />ingrid mott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-one-more-pint/
