Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Cletus O'Toole - Horse Thief

Cletus O'Toole in a moment of greed

   'Borrowed' the judge's magnificent steed

      To steal a horse not his'n

         He spent six months in prison

            His name e'er stained for that dastardly deed!

Lindsay Laurie February 25, 2020 at 5:14 PM Crikey Bob … I reckon Cletus was lucky he didn't swing for that. Cletus has so many hard luck stories doesn't he - thanks Bob - Lindsay Robert L. Hinshaw February 26, 2020 at 12:49 PM Thank you Lindsay. Best not to mess around with a judge's hoss - Cletus got off light in my judgement. Take good care, Mate - Bob

Daniel Turner February 25, 2020 at 1:54 PM I would say he's lucky he got prison time instead of a rope! Fun stuff, Bob. Robert L. Hinshaw February 26, 2020 at 12:42 PM Danny: I agree - Cletus got off pretty light! The judge must have thought it was just a prank! Great to hear from you - Bob
