The Upper Makefield Police Department is making the most of a bad situation.

Following officers stopping an empty party bus that was operated by a driver who was suspected of being under the influence recently, the department posted “A DUI PSA Poem.”

Below is the poem that acts as a public service announcement from the police department:

When driving an empty school bus
on Taylorsville Road at 10:40 at night
Be sure to maintain your lane
Otherwise it will cause some fright

It will also warrant a call
to your local favorite PD
Who will stop your swerving vehicle
and investigate what everyone did see

You spoke with our officers
and you had a fun and cooperative vibe
But your poor driving was not due to you being friendly
but rather due to the alcohol you had imbibed

A check of your driver’s license revealed
that your driving days should have ended
As you shouldn’t have been behind the wheel
since your operating privileges were already suspended

So you ended up being arrested
we hope you understand how this was not wise
But, you’ve been down this road before
with previous convictions for DUI’s

So we will see you in court
and we hope this time you will learn
That it never too late to change
and give your life an about turn
