Backwater Justice

Poor Earl Crabtree, they tried him for murder
He claimed innocence; he’d never hurt her
   But Earl was transgender
   He’d gone on a bender
Pleaded guilty ~ he’d tried to pervert her

Ha, ha! Careful, Bill! I'm not sure if 'thinking' (even a little) is permitted under the Biden administration. Don't we have 'Czar' of some sort to prevent deep thoughts?! lol. Thanks, my friend. :) gw

A different kind of limerick for you, but enjoyed it (so sorry I haven't been around soup much lately, am catching up on my Wolf quota!)
