well, that is just too cute and you deserve to win.
original, funny, clever lines, - wish I could hear the tune.
you ought to send it to a country singer - I bet they'd buy it.
OR you could sing it yourself, cut a CD, and...
anyway, good job!

    Lol. If I could figure out how to sell songs to artists I'd go for it. I just don't know how to get my foot in the door. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and huge sixer, Pome Lover. I really appreciate the kind words and gracious rating. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great night and thank you again.

    I know this is probably ridiculous, but what if you Googled Agents for country singers. Somebody would have a hit singing that song.

    I might just have to do that. That's a good idea. Thank you again, Pome L.

Bravo, that is classic, and unlike many of the other entries in this competition, I could really hear it being sung in my mind. Great job! I thought you might get to a piss test for old Clive, but guess I'm glad you didn't, lol!

    Hahaha. Yeah, I figured a piss test was stretching it a bit too far. Lol. Thank you for the great review and giant sixer, friend. Yeah, I always try to steer from what everyone else usually comes up with in these contests. I really appreciate the generous stars, David. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Have a great night and thank you again.

    Hey, Portia, hello. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the giant sixer. Yeah, I like to play around with my art program nearly as much as writing. Lol. I dearly appreciate the gracious rating and good luck wishes, Portia. I'm glad you had a chuckle at this silliness. Have a great day and thank you again.

I love a good funny song and this was great it reminded me of an occasion many years ago in UK when a man on a drink driving charge got off free when it was discovered that although he was definitely over the alchol limit he wasn't driving. The cop had gone to the wrong side of the car, non British model with left hand drive.

I'd love to hear this sung.

    Sounds like he got pretty lucky. Haha. I appreciate the generous stars and review, Pantygynt. Yeah, this has a bit of a country vibe to it. It would take way too much work to put it all together just for this contest. Plus, I doubt if it would make the top ten charts even if I did turn it into a complete song. Lol. Thanks again, P. Have a great day.

You have trained Clive well in safe driving habits. Lots of treats must have been involved. My cat used to be my designated driver (sitting on a cushion and with wooden poles attached to her hind legs to push the accelerator and brake pedals) but she got killed in a bar room brawl when some unappreciative people broke her ukelele and she scratched one of them. Now I have to stay home and drink alone anyway.
This song has got winner written right through it.

    Hey, Lisa, hi. Thank you so much for the giant sixer and the hilarious review. So your poor cat was killed in a bar fight over her ukulele, huh? LOL. I'm glad to see you jumped in the contest too. Can't wait to see what you came up with. I really appreciate the generous stars, L. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again. Have a great day.

This deserves a six so here's another to make it up(*). This is delightful.
How many people would love to have their pooch drive them home after a night out getting a skinful ? The poem tells it like it is with Clive, (THE DOG) saving the day ( or the night actually) by taking the officer's sobriety test and coming through with flying colors. A real hoot. Thanks for the laugh. cheers Cass

    Hey, Cass, hello. Thank you for the excellent review and the big sixer offer. Yeah, having a pooch to drive me to the bar would be awesome. Haha. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Thank you again.

Clive rolled down the window....LMAO!! Lordy, sir, this is just hilarious and so very visual. I saw it all. This is sooooo funny and such a nice break from all the downer posts on here. Which was the point of the contest. You're going to kill it in the booth. I loved giving Clive a doggy treat for passing the field sobriety tests. HAHA. Thanks for this. Well done! Lynda

    Lol. You're the only one that mentioned him getting the treat for passing the tests. There's little things like that throughout the piece that I wonder if people catch. The rolling down the door window was what pretty well made me decide to go with the whole sobriety test and have the dog doing what a human can. I dearly appreciate the huge sixer and kind review, Lynda. I'm glad you liked my contribution to the contest. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Wonderfully imagined, and I doubt if any other contest entry will stand a chance against your hilarious song. I won't be surprised if you also write the music to it, sing, play guitar, record it, and I see your performance on tv.
(Terrific illustration of Clive, too.)

    Hey, Don, hi. Thank you for the awesome review and the giant sixer, friend. It would take me a while but I actually have all the instruments and recording gear to make this into a real song. But that's a lot of work for a FS contest. Hahaha. I really appreciate the generous stars, Don. And that you liked the picture. That's another hobby I love as much as writing, creating with my art program. Many times I spend a lot more time on the picture than writing the piece itself. Lol. Thank you again, friend. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Dear Dragon, This post is just fun, fun fun. I didn't even know there was a song writing contest on FanStory, But this one is a winner for sure!
But please make the text bigger next time . . .I am sure other elderly reviewers wouldn't mind if you did.

    Hey, Suzanna, hello. Thank you for the great review and gracious stars. I'm pretty sure how you have your computer screen set up determines the font size. Someone told me the words on this piece were too big and making the longer lines drop down. In case you don't know how, all you have to do is hold down the 'CTRL' key and roll your mouse wheel. It's at the bottom left corner of your keyboard. Just hold the 'CTRL' key down and roll your mouse and that will make the FS screen either bigger or smaller, so it's easier to read. I hope that helped. Thank you again for the great review. I'm glad you liked this silly piece.

What a great story. I want a Clive dog. If he can drive, I imagine he can do a lot of other handy things as well. It even seems Clive is licensed since the officer checked his tags.
Best of luck in the contest. This should do well.

    Thank you for the great review, Debi. I was wondering how many people was going to catch that line. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Have a great rest of your weekend.
