By Lee Moore (at least I'm guessing that's who it's by b/c this book has a lot of different things by Lee Moore, songs and poems)

This is just another poem to prove that you should NEVER EVER get behind the wheel and drive. It doesn't matter if you are a really good driver or a very careful driver, ur senses are not as great when u are drunk and behind a wheel. PLEASE IF YOU ARE GONNA DRINK, GET A DRIVER WHO ISN'T GONNA DRINK.

Now listen, you drunken drivers, whole here on earth you dwell,
You never know when the time will come, you'll have to say farewell
To your dear mother and sister; tho they may be miles away,
So don't be drinking whiskey; while driving on your way,
I saw an accident one day, that should charm the heart of man,
And teach him not to drink a drop while the steering wheel is in his hand.

This awful accident occurred on the twetieth day of May,
Caused two lovely children to sleep beneath the clay.
These two dear children walked side by side upon the state highway;
Their loving mother, she had died, their father had run away,
They were talking of their loving parents, how said their hearts did feel,
When around the curve came a speeding car with a drun man at the wheel.

This driver saw these two dear kids, he hooted a drunkard's sound,
Get out of the road, you little fools. Then the car it brought them down.
The bumper caught that little girl, taking her life away,
While the little boy in a gore of blood in the ditch line they did lay.
This driver staggered from his car, to see what he had done,
His heart sanke within him, when he saw his loving son
Such mourning from a drunken man, I never saw before,
When the little boy in a gore of blood, said Daddy has come once more.

He picked up his loving ones and carried them to his car,
And kneeling on the running board, he prayed a drunkard's prayer,
Saying: Please O Lord, forgive me for this awful crime I've done,
His attention then was called away to the words of his dying son.

Take us to our mother, dad, who sleeps beneath the ground,
It was you and her we were thinking about when the car it brought us down
Please dear dady, don't drink no more, while driving on your way,
But meet us with mother, dad, in Heaven some sweet day.
