Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

'shifty' Lars

He was known by his nickname 'Shifty' Lars

   Who specialized in stealing brand-new cars

      He'd never get caught

         (Or, that's what he thought)

            He's now serving ten to life behind bars

Gershon Wolf September 12, 2019 at 9:45 PM Sounds as if 'Shifty' shifted into the wrong gear here! Cheers, Gershon Robert L. Hinshaw September 13, 2019 at 11:32 AM Thank you Gershon! I always enjoy your witty comments! Almost choked on my cuppa this morn when I read it! Best on you always - BoB

Lindsay Laurie September 12, 2019 at 8:16 PM G'day Bob … I trust he's not doing community service in a saloon serving drinks. I didn't think so - thanks for the giggle Bob - Lindsay Robert L. Hinshaw September 13, 2019 at 11:36 AM G'Day, Lindsay: Nope, in this case he's not serving behind a bar but doing his time in the "big house" behind those cold, steel bars! Thanks for commenting on more of my nonsense! - Bob

Alexis Y. September 12, 2019 at 7:00 PM Hi Robert, I really enjoy your limericks.If one lived like 'Shifty' did it's good chance they will end up behind bars.
