Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Solace Behind a Tree

After guzzlin' beer Gus needed to pee.

  He sought solace behind a nearby tree.

     Before the judge he was fined,

        To which Gus gravely opined:

            "Where e'er you be let yer water flow free!"

Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired
