Someones Future

See that ambulance
in front of you?
One day you're going
to need one when
you get old and grey.
Or maybe you'll
be involved in
a traffic accident,
it could happen anyday.
Say hello to a
person of age
and wish them
a wonderful day
and don't drink
and drive and
take someones
future away.
LOL.

Words worth saying, James. I know so many people who have suffered tragedy at the hands of a drunk driver.

I enjoyed your poem a lot james, to risk its own life OK but it is cruel and selfish and mindless to risk other innocent lives, it's a very good poem....

James,

This has good, sneaky, end rhymes.  I don't understand the LOL at the end though.

James,

I like this a lot and agree with all the responses.  Like Bobby though, I got to the end and the "LOL" and wondered .. why?  Why end this with LOL?  Is there a reason that I don't see.  It distracts.

Otherwise, I think this is a fine message.
