Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Cletus O'Toole's Visit To Reno

Cletus O'Toole spent some time in Reno

  Where he lost his shirt playin' at keno

    This caused a great deal of strife

      With his long-sufferin' wife

        She raged on like a squally El Nino

The Situation December 8, 2022 at 6:09 PM A sad story but it does need mentioning it's legal highway robbery.

Andrea Dietrich December 1, 2022 at 1:33 PM great job on this one. I expect to see on the winner list I hope

Jennifer Proxenos December 1, 2022 at 8:26 AM A fun limerick Robert - We have not read each others poems in a while, I hope you are well, you made me laugh with this one my friend. Hugs, blessings, JENNIFER. Robert L. Hinshaw December 1, 2022 at 11:59 AM Thank you, Jenn - glad it gave you a laff. I read your poems but forgive me for not commenting as I should. A Merry Christmas Season to you and yours - Bob

Ilene Bauer November 26, 2022 at 2:30 PM ha! very funny, bob! thanks for the grin... Robert L. Hinshaw November 26, 2022 at 2:48 PM Glad it gave you a grin, Ilene. Just another bit of nonsense from my pen. Best to you - Bob

Panagiota Romios November 26, 2022 at 1:11 PM Smash hit, award winning limerick. Vegas is now a dive. I don’t know about Reno. Elena said vaporized pot fills the air. People don’t understand the HOUSE always wins. There are smaller Casinos to have fun in these days. Hugs, Pangie Robert L. Hinshaw November 26, 2022 at 2:49 PM Thank you, Pangie. I cherish your support - Bob H

L Milton Hankins November 26, 2022 at 11:17 AM Which is why many men go to Reno or Vegas without their wives! Enjoyed your limerick, Bob. Robert L. Hinshaw November 26, 2022 at 12:40 PM Thanks, Milt! I suspect Cletus' problems will multiply - like his wife going to Reno for a divorce! Take good care - Bob H
