Gasoline And Beer

Please think before drinking and driving

  

Guzzle guzzle

Into the tank

Ignite the horsepower

Accelerate and go

Pedal to the medal

Ride on.

 

Guzzle guzzle

Down the throat

Having a good time

Without a care

Feel the buzz

Party on.

 

Enjoy the open road

Enjoy a cold brew

Just don’t mix them together

It’s a dangerous combination.

 

For each one is powerful liquid

That can lead to excitement

But mixing gasoline and beer

Is just like playing with fire

With pedestrians and motorist

Becoming the kindling

And your living hell

Will never freeze over.

I wish I had read this before I made some of the choices I made... Of course it took a wet road, 3 beers and an oak tree to wake me up. That commercial is very true: "Buzzed driving is drunk driving." I was lucky that the only thing that was killed was my buzz and my wallet. I didn't even get a DUI; the breathalyzer came back below the limit, but I know the alcohol caused the accident.

The way you put it into verse was fantastic. It imparts an awesome message and if it is remembered by one person who chooses to call a cab instead of chancing it, then this poem will serve its purpose nobly. Wonderful job (:

Thank you so much for writing this, we need to spread the word to "Not Drink and Drive". An execellent poem. Debileah

Fine work: well chosen words, well constructed phrases ... wise message, sound moral.

Pity this can't go even more public.

Great poem.............. With a great message.........

If only people would heed the words. But most people who drink and drive think they can control it until the tragedy happens........... Then its too late.
Thank you for reminding people not to drink and drive. Perhaps it will save someone's life.

So very true the essence of this piece. Should hang on the wall in every pub and gas station.

You gave it a nice rhythm, and a strong message.

I like it very much, especially the two first stanzas!
Great job!
