Moonlight Ride
Jenny was so happy
about the house that had found.
For once in her life
it was on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such a great ease.
As she watched her new curtains
blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was
to have her own room.
School would be starting,
She'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties;
she was so happy
It's just the way
she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school,
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,
Because I just got a date
with the star of the team!
To be known in this school
you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy
would sure help her out.
There was only one problem
stopping her fate.
Her parents has said
she was too young to date.
Well, I just won't tell them
the entire truth.
They won't know the difference;
what's there to lose?
Jenny asked to stay
with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned
but said "allright"
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 whats a pizza, a party,
and a moonlight ride?
Well, the pizza was good,
and the party was great,
but th emoonlight ride
would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk
already by this time,
But he kissed her and said
that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke
and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking
that terrible stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride
up to the point
but only after he'd smoked
another joint.
They jumped in the car
for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it
to the point at last,
and Jeff started trying
to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted
at all
(and by a pass,
I don't mean playing foorball).
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 to fast.
As Jeff drove on
in a fir of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life
was in danger.
She begged and pleaded
for him to slow down,
but he just got faster
as they neared town.
Just let me get home!
I'll confess tha tI 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 doesn't remember
the force of the impact.
Just that everything
all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her
from the twisted ruble,
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 she wondered to 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
but 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 loked at the man
with eyes oh so sad.
"Because the people in the other car
were her Mom and Dad."
