Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Jane's Bane

Jane was renown for her very short fuse

   'Specially when she was sozzled with booze

      She relished a barroom brawl

         And took on any and all

            With whomever she had divergent views

Placed No. 5 in John Freeman's "Slapstick Limerick" Contest - March 2011
