A.A. History
There once was a man whose first name was Bill.
He drank all the time, he practiced self will.
Then, on to Towne's Hospital, no hope in sight,
He met a fine doctor named Silkworth that night.
Conferred with Bill's wife and said, "There's no cure.
If he can abstain, we'll try to endure."
A couple weeks later, in bed he did lie,
He saw a bright light from up in the sky!
A spiritual awakening, I must tell about it!
He called for the doctor, he wanted to shout it!
Silkie just listened and after he heard,
Confirmed that it happened and said, "Spread the word!"
No one could have know what had happened that day,
This spiritual awakening had started A.A.
The rest is all history and easy to see,
This wonderful program that saved you and me.
