Moonlight ride , sad poem

[Larache4eva]

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.

How wonderful it was 2 have her own room.
Skool wud be starting, she'd have friends ova soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life 2 be.

On the first day of skool, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
cuz I jst got a date with the star of the team!"

2 be known in this skool u had 2 hav a clout,
And dating this guy wud sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young 2 date.

"Well, I jst won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there 2 lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that nite.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."

Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?

Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride wud have 2 wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was jst fine.

Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny cudn't believe he was smoking da stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.

They jumped in the car 4 the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk 2 drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying 2 make a pass.

A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I don't mean playing football).
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."

With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away:
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.

As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he jst got faster as they neared the town.

"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"

She dsn't remember the force of impact.
Jst that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"

Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered 2 herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car were alive.

She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.

They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."

Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."

"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there ~ she never agreed.

But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"

She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been u.
