Road-Side Test

There was once an old boozer named Dale

   Who guzzled copious pints of ale

      Although he tried his best

         He flunked the road-side test

            And was remanded sans bail to jail

The old boozer Dale was such a fool - Not adhering to the golden rule - To be staying alive - One must not drink and drive - For drunken dudes Shanks’s pony is cool.……. Belle
