Slick Limerick

Though 'tis said he writes to a fair degree

   Robert L. Hinshaw's inane potpourri

      Of poetical verse

         Is so very much vorse

            Then old Bill Shakespeare's works will ever be

Our Bob needs to abstain, Please let me explain, Shakespeare’s too high a mark, For Hindshaw to spark, When he can easily trounce Tony Lane
