Empty Drinkers Be grateful for what's missing, For if the glass were not half empty, You, would still be thirsty. While, if it were still full, You would be empty! If the glass, started out only half full, You're not, getting your money's worth! Ask not, what a simple drink can do for you, But, can you possibly accommodate yet another drink? Keeping in mind, the ground is always there to catch you, And its hard, so don't drink any salt-water, piss, and vinegar!
This is a silly poem, but it covers a subject people like to joke about. Alcohol is involved in some 80% of violent crimes, and being able to joke about it, while still encouraging people to be responsible is important.
Framed: Well I was hauling logs ten years ago The news was out on the radio That a shot was fired the night before And a local man lay dead on the floor Now the dust was flying in the lumber yard Lights were flashing on two black cars I said Sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong.. He knocked me and put the handcuffs on.. I was framed They took me away like I was the only one to blame Framed Guilty they said, rail roaded my on a one way train Framed And on judgement day they want me to hang my head in shame But I was framed Now that's all I'll say so don't be running down my name.. Framed.. Barbara Joe cried through the glass At the murder trial I seen her last I loved that woman but now she's free She turned away once they sentenced me And the guilty mans name was never told Ten years later they put me on the road And I'll always say that I got screwed I'm the same old man with the same attitude.. Framed Now the guilty man paid long ago He's the same man that got layed low When he took my wife he was hell bound And even if I did gun him down.. I was framed.
