Retirement and the Mountains

Retirement in the Mountains

There once was an old mountain man.
He hunted and lived off the land.
He always felt fine.
When he danced in moonshine.
So he danced and imbibed like he planned.

Light and witty, like a limerick should be. You are truly an accomplished poetess and it is truly an honor to have one such as yourself comment favorably on my little scribblings. Thank you so much! You are very kind! Regards, Gerard.
