Potholes

There was once a weavin' driver named Joad
   
   Nabbed by cops, drivin' in manner forebode

      Asked if he had been boozin'

         No sir, I am just cruisin'

            Tryin' to avoid potholes in the road

Loved this limerick Robert. I have been on some roads so filled with potholes even Joad would not be able to outmaneuver them. Thanks for the chuckle.

That Joad sure is a clever driver -- and thinks just as fast on his feet as a gentleman I know named Robert Hinshaw!! Great limerick, Bob. Keep 'em coming! Cheers, Gershon
