COURT CARD
Feeling down, and oh so blue Got another five oh two. Pleaded down to a reckless wet, To A.A. meetings the judge said get.
Filled with irritability and discontent, I’ve got this card to prove I went. Just bad luck was what it was, And I will tell you why, because...
Were not the cop from the Dunkins leaving He never would have seen me weaving. Really, I was driving home just fine, And I only blew a point oh nine!
On myself this sentence I did bring, Now I’ve got to do this A.A. thing. Off to a meeting I now go, Sure hope that I see no one I know!
A church! Oh no, not if I had my say, No way they’re going to make me pray! Just here to get the damn card signed, Hope I find someone tall to sit behind.

In Memory
Dean L. 37 years Mission Hills Group
Heard my story told, not once, but twice, And that guy Joe seemed very nice. Told me to call if what he has I seek.
I hope to meet him there again next week!
