You're certainly on the right track. No keepers here, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Molly Mae Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 sailor/captain Hmmm.... I'm considering accepting this. But if you're a little more "playful" with the answer, I'll mark as solved. I'm thinking A Soldier or Ship's Captain See above. I believe the proper name is Lighthouse keeper =P I always wanted that job... but I'd probably be bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Molly Mae
Driving home on Friday night,
I came upon a dreadful sight.
A car was veering left 'n right,
Ever closer came the light
'Til sure enough he struck fast
And all my dreams would never last.
Twisting metal, splintered wood
Something leaking 'neath the hood.
I couldn't move, nor could I speak
My mind was focused on that leak.
Unscathed, the other left his car
I knew he'd not long left the bar
He came close and watched my death
Booze had lingered on his breath.
With all I've done and all I've seen,
I'm finally home in Fiddler's Green.
What is the occupation of the drunk driver?
EDIT: It's not hard, I know. But I really liked the rhyme and just couldn't part with that one part. =P
