In the 1930's the universe tilted
though only slightly at the time.
A drunk named Bill sobered up
with the help of a surprisingly sober friend
and a doctor long-familiar with Bill.
He happened to travel from New York City
to Akron, Ohio, for an ill-fated business deal
and was marooned there short on funds,
and shaky for lack of his old fix-all.

and shaky for lack of his old fix-all.
Clinging to sobriety
he sought drunks to talk to, finding one.
And then there were two sober drunks.
One by one they acquire more until at last
they neared a hundred.
Know as the Drunk Squad of the Oxford Group,
they knew thousands of drunks needed their prize
but that a hundred men could never see them all.
A book was the answer, their way of meeting with many more.
They wrote the book, called it Alcoholics Anonymous
and, naming themselves for the book,
they set out and changed not just drunks
but the whole world!
