Did this disclaimer... "Not based on anyone I know. Just in case the wife is reading" keep you free or are you in a NW gaol soaking your toes in a tiny sink?
This was cute, and I guess still is even if six years writ ago.

Guess it proves even dummies can fluke one good one every five years or so. Thanks for the super sixth star.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
He he he, this made me smile Bob and congratulations on your win! Your story is funny and so many non-driving women years ago would advise their husbands on the driving! Nowadays the odds in the sexes have evened up and we now know that women are indeed the best drivers with a much better history when it comes to accidents. Sorry Bob, but it had to be said, he he he, a fine, well rhymed poem and a deserved winner of the contest, love Dolly x

Gee you've really delved into the archives here. WIN I'm not so sure about that, I think there were only three entries and I dead-heated with two votes. Please note, I chose not to comment on your note about which gender is better skilled!!!

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This so funny. I love it. The imagery is great. There must be many readers who can identify with parts of this, hopefully not the finding peace in jail. I am voting for this one

Comment from LynnetteOK
This is quite the humorous take on back seat driving. I laughed out loud about why the dad was in jail and how much he was enjoying being there. I have to say I laughed even more when I read your author's note. Very well written!
Best of luck to you in the contest,

Comment from country ranch writer
Some times the least said is better all around and easily mended or is that fences? A bit of humor there. Yesterday men can be pushed to their limits sometimes.

So true, my friend. A closed mouth never offends. What a pity it took me seventy years to learn that secret. And I still forget. Thank you country ranch writer.

We are all guilty of the open mouth insert syndrome sometimes we just don't stop to think before we speak. I too am guilty

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This speaks a tribute to a back-seat driver, remembers the fate of father is now in prison for twenty year term, he is happy for he has peace of mind and no nagging of his wife; author is facing the same thing, she is nagging, to follow or not his father; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from PoemsOfDD
This is a well thought out, entertaining and amusing rhymed poem. I really enjoyed it. Just a couple of nit bit edits as shown in brackets ( ), if you don't mind.
1st stanza
He() always goes the wrong way
3rd stanza
When he went to court he said(,)
(")Your Honour I can explain,
T(')was taking the wife shopping
Her abuse is never slowed(â??)
4th stanza
Relieved he (can be) alone - you use (now three times in this stanza which makes the word slightly over played.
There is peace of mind(...) no nagging
I presume you will edit. Thanks for the chuckle of this read and best of luck in the competition. ~DD

Thank you for your excellent editing. I've adopted the changes you suggested. Actually I used 'now' four time in that final stanza. Glad you pointed that out. Thank you again, Bob
