Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Shoveling Snow

Here comes the county snow plow down the street,

     He will clear the street of snow and that's neat!

         I'd scooped snow, how I did strive,

            To move heaped snow from my drive!

               He just grinned dumping more snow at my feet!

Charles Messina January 15, 2019 at 7:25 AM LOL, don't ya just hate when the snow plow comes by AFTER you just shoveled and builds a barrier across your driveway. Well done, Robert! Congratulations on your win in my contest. :) Charlie

Alexis Y. January 15, 2019 at 7:00 AM Hi Robert, You penned a good limerick using the same word. I could just picture the whole scene. congratulations on your 2nd place win:-) Alexis

Jennifer Proxenos January 7, 2019 at 9:18 AM Fun limerick, come and live in sunny South africa - no snow in Johannesburg maybe only once in every 5 or 6 years, and only for a day! However remember my dad scooping snow from in front of our door whilst we lived in England for 2 years! Poetry wishes, Jennifer. Robert L. Hinshaw January 7, 2019 at 5:51 PM Thank you Jennifer for your generous comments. Since it is dead winter here in Colorado, I sure would appreciate a warmer climate such ads South Africa right now! Best to you for the coming New Year and best wishes as you continue your poetical journey - Bob

Arthur Vaso January 7, 2019 at 5:16 AM Happens to me all the time!!! Robert L. Hinshaw January 7, 2019 at 5:53 PM To me as well, Arthur, altho my kids got me an electric snow remover for Christmas a few years ago and it makes things less painful!!!! Always great to hear from you, my friend - Bob

Charlie Smith January 6, 2019 at 8:17 PM Reminds of that old piece about a “Texan moves north”, that damn plow driver, good one Robert...

Andrea Dietrich January 6, 2019 at 5:32 PM you did a GREAT SNOW job. hehee. I love this. Robert L. Hinshaw January 6, 2019 at 5:45 PM Thanks Andrea - snow job indeed! The kids got me an electric snow plow one Christmas and oddly, its kinda fun to "shovel" snow with it. Take care and keep warm - its cold here in Colo!
