Clyde Fails the Roadsides

Road stop By cop Perceived Car weaved Two Beers Cop jeers Slurs talk Can't walk Clyde weaved And heaved Ker splat Fell flat Clyde drunk As skunk Tests muffed Handcuffed To jail No bail Transport To court Demand Remand Severe One year Oh dear No beer

LOL Funny how the thing he appears to miss most in jail is beer, Bob. I'm always glad to see drunken drivers taken off the road. A delightful footle series! Hope you are doing well, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn. Seems Clyde never learns - next DUI and he'll spend more time in the slammer! All OK here and hope all is well at your house - Bob

Hi Robert, I enjoy the footle form, and you do the form justice. You told a good story about the consequences of “ drunk driving “ in a few words. Well done. Have a good day:-) Alexis
