Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Alas, Dorcas Reilly Has Died

Alas, Dorcas Reilly has died, God rest her soul!

   Little known was she who served a great role!

      Those who knew of her were few,

         But you'd mourn her if you knew,

            'Twas she who launched the green bean casserole!

Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired
