Mods, I wasn't a 100% sure where to put this (thought about humanities), if you feel it would be more suited somewhere else, please move it.

WENT TO A PARTY, MUM

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum
So I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mum
Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mum, his voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.
I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mum
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mum
Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mum
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mum,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mum!"
So I love you and good-bye.


Have a safe and enjoyable Christmas.

Ah. Maybe the mods will kindly move it for me then. It was more the point of the poem I was thinking about, rather than the poem itself.

Thanks for the pointer.

Waay too sentimental to be a good poem. "Daddy's girl" on the gravestone? - how tacky!

And everyone already knows it's wrong to drink and drive.

Wait, so what you're saying is, she should have been drinking

Been read out many a time in my Religion class, people sobbing, "How true". Blech. You don't need a poem to tell you not to step into the Polo after a couple.

Probably would have cancelled it out!

You know what they say, two wrongs make a right!

steveland?

No but four or five rights makes ya dizzy

Ah they do. Only they don't always remember after a few pints. But mawkish poems aren't going to change that.

steveland?

What's the point of that poem in general...


If you're locked you won't remember it...

Now if they could put it in ad form with a Fleetwood Mac song in the background...

I presumed that was more to do with promoting chain letters and the like. This is, despite most of us having read it before, simply reminding us that having a beer with the car keys in teh pocket ain't the best idea.

cajun_tiger

it was the exact same one though

weemcd

soulds like a spammy hotmail chain letter

joejoem

Ffs I was in a really good mood getting ready to go home, till I read that. Why put that in after hours???? Im going to have to go buy myself something nice now. Diskman me thinks.

chainmailesque poems are the one thing in life that REEEEEEALLY annoy me... really
