Old Man In a Bin

There was an old man in a bin, Intent upon drinking his gin, And he started to shout, As I hoisted him out, And shot like a bullet back in. For Andrea’s limerick contest

Jack, I am particularly fond of limericks. You should have won a prize if you didn't. Limericks are not easy to write. I think this is a good one and funny.. Thank you for sharing your talent here too. Charlene
