A Disgruntled Recruit

There was once a recruit named Hubie Hunt, Who hoped to fly but was told "no" so blunt, "Sorry, you ain't qualified" So Hubie was certified To tote a gun as a ground poundin' grunt! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired

Oh my goodness. It's scary to think of a disgruntled man toting a gun, Bob. You have an excellent limerick here. Thank you for your recent comments. I was judging a contest and am about to leave town for the week of the Fourth. I think of you often as the photo you sent me of you and Vera is displayed on my desk. Both of you remain in my prayers and now it's just another opportunity to say thank you for protecting our country so we can celebrate Independence Day! Love, Carolyn

Greetings from the colonies and thx as always for your support and encouragement - glad it gave you a laff. Perhaps you know the word "grunt" and maybe not but it is Americanese for an infantryman in the Army.
