The Perfect Couple
by David Pekrul
copyright 04-27-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
How do I love thee?
Oh, What a joke,
With your head in a bottle,
And me with a toke.

The most perfect couple,
(For a soup-line, that is,)
We live on the street,
And yet have a kid.

How did we get here?
What did we do?
We often tried rehab,
And said we were through,

With smoking and drinking,
And living in sin,
We tried to climb out,
But jumped right back in.

If you read this story,
You’ll think we are mad,
We both had careers,
But lost all we had.

A sad, tragic tale,
But one that is true,
Please learn from this lesson,
Don’t let this be you.

* I believe drugs is the number one enemy in our nation. Don’t be fooled by thinking that the occasional ‘hit’ is harmless. *

I like the short, quick, rhyming stanzas that really force the message right out of the poem. Good poem with a great message.
Now, the problem is that those who need this message are likely not spending their weekend evenings on internet poetry sites. They are out there using and abusing, with so little deterrence by law enforcement. So my answer to the poem would be an equally emphatic,"Education, education, education!" mixed with "Love, love love!"
Keep writing, though! We are certainly listening.

We have so many problems. This is a big problem and so many of the young kids are lured into drugs. They can make so much money that they don't think it is bad.They don't realise what is ahead of them and what they will miss by being "high". Another great poem(dry spell...I don't think so!) Anthony

Agreed absolutely. Easy to get hooked but not so easy to get out. Tragic indeed especially for the children. Imagine those children born with a coke habit. Very good write "a word in time".
