Fiddler On the Roof

There once was an odd fiddler on the roof Townsfolk thought of him as the village goof He was a nuisance and pain But for finding him insane The onus was theirs for burden of proof Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved

LOL "If he were a rich man," they would have justed viewed him as eccentric. Wealth determines who is considered insane in some cases. Very witty, Bob! Love and Happy Fathers Day, Carolyn
