Cletus O'Toole Yearns To Fly

Cletus O'Toole had always yearned to fly

   He joined the Air Force to give it a try

      He tried a daring chandelle

         It didn't go all that well

            Cletus crashed in the muck of a pigsty

Charles Messina Date: 2/21/2020 7:58:00 AM Bob, I hope it was in the morning when Cletus crash landed. At least he would have been able to have some early morning bacon (lol) Stay safe in all the snow you've been getting in Co. God Bless...Charlie Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 2/21/2020 12:21:00 PM Good point, Charlie - he may have wanted to take a shower after his landing in a heap of muck! As you note, lot of snow here and more on the way this weekend. Take good care - Bob
