Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Custer's Final Muster

There once lived a general named Custer,

   Well-known for his arrogance and bluster.

      He met his Waterloo,

         By bands of wrathful Sioux.

            Could be said this was his final muster!

Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired

Connie Marcum Wong April 26, 2017 at 5:26 AM When I think of Custer I am on the side of the Indians (Native Americans). I have such strong feelings about how unfairly they have been treated. I sure enjoyed your clever Limerick Robert! 7 ;/)
