Nuts and Bolts

The High Constable received quite a jolt

   When the nut he nabbed decided to bolt

      T'was discovered he muffed

         When the scoundrel he cuffed

            Worse yet, he fled on the Constable's colt

Quite a mouthful, there Robert! Or perhaps 'quite an inkful,' I should say... Or maybe even I can throw away my Luddite ways and say, 'quite a keyboard full!.' Thanks for entertainment, my friend. Keep well. :) Gershon
