Joe Schmidt

Joe Schmidt grew up the Eastern Bowery
His upbringing was less than flowery
He robbed a few banks
And a few more pranks
After which his whole life turned out sourly.

Hello Milton ... it's odd that authorities don't appreciate the likes of Joe Shmidt until they realize Joe is living off their money - thanks Milton - Lindsay

Thanks, Andrea. Next to serious poetry, I love a good limerick, so I write one now and then.

Quite a few years, I'd say, when they figure out all he's guilty of.
