Crime never pays, Bob. You gave me a great chuckle, especially with the punch line at the end! Hugs, Carolyn

Sounds as if 'Shifty' shifted into the wrong gear here! Cheers, Gershon

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

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

Hi Robert, I really enjoy your limericks.If one lived like 'Shifty' did it's good chance they will end up behind bars. Enjoy the rest of your day:-) Alexis

And he's not bartending but is doing time in the "big house" - ha. Thank you for your delightful comment and good on you always - Bob
