Jack Daniels Failed Intervention revised Sam Adams was drinking alone In the Cosmos Bar in Bangkok, Twenty drinks too sober Drinking his way to hell. That night, about 0 dark hundred He saw the bottle of Jack Daniels Had somehow transformed Into that of a younger version Of Sam Adams. The figure announced that he was the spirit Of Jack Daniels and had a message For Sam Adams. “Khun Sam,It is not my place To complain but you are Drinking a bit too much. Twenty drinks a night For the last few weeks, Don’t you think? We all want you To quit this one-way ride drinking your way to Hell Put down the bottle If you continue drinking tonight, The only destination is death My friend, the Grim Reaper Has your ticket ready for redemption”. Soon the other bottles In front of him Started talking to him Pleading with him to just stop drinking. Soon all the bottles in the room All came alive and began chasing Sam, Out into the busy street Where a bus ran him over, Died on the spot. Thus ended Sam Adams’s Last binge In the city of lost angels. 35 lines Original poem published in Uncertain Stories ‘O Dark hundred” is military/intel jargon denoting the time two to three hours before dawn when operatives get up to prepare for dawn operations.
