He had been sober for over 40 yrs
Drank no near beer
No zero alcohol wine
Lifted only soda water for cheers...
Many times he had been stressed
Hit the bottoms bottom when depressed
To his sponsor his urges he confessed
That his urges slowly passed he was blessed...
Today his sobriaty came to a sudden halt
Like he hit a wall trying to pole vault
He'd fallen into the last and final pit
Mentally he was having a fit...
His thoughts were now stinking
Blurred is his way of thinking
Heavier and heavier is his drinking
Into the preverbial grave he's now sinking...
Today many friends passed him by
All asking that one question why
He had that number on his first chip
How could he let his happy life slip???
One dying six carrying him to his final rest
He had failed sobrieties final test...
