Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Footle

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

Carolyn Devonshire January 31, 2021 at 8:10 AM 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 Robert L. Hinshaw January 31, 2021 at 6:30 PM Thank you Carolyn.
