Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Pete's Dilemma

Pete's parson preached when you're dumped in the grave

     You can't take those things with you that you crave

          But afraid to take a chance

               Pete arranged far in advance

                    For U-Hauls in case he could cop a waive

Carolyn Devonshire March 12, 2021 at 9:49 AM Well, it won't be as easy as "waiving" a particular class in college! Haven't a clue what "things" Pete thought he'd need in the afterlife, but you sure gave me a good laugh, Bob. Enjoyed! Hugs, carolyn
