Relief Behind a Tree

After guzzlin' beer Gus needed to pee

   He sought relief behind a nearby tree

      Before the judge he was fined

        To which Gus gravely opined:

            "Where e'er you be let yer water flow free!"

Lindsay Laurie Date: 8/14/2019 1:50:00 AM G'day Bob … a fine limerick Bob. He should have asked the judge what he was supposed to do. I mean, surely the tree didn't mind - thanks Bob - Lindsay Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 8/14/2019 11:21:00 AM Thks for commenting on my latest nonsense. Relief is a true tale. When I was assigned with the USAF in Bermuda Gus was our squadron boozer! He'd tap me towards the end of each month for funds to quench his thirst but always paid me back on pay day! Carry on, Old Mate
