Lin Lane Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Stranger In Milton Creek

A tall stranger rode into Milton Creek
Ragged scar ran across one eye and cheek 
Mayor Tom drew his gun
"You best hightail and run!"
"Geeze! Okay! But first can I take a leak?"

Paula Goldsmith April 30, 2023 at 1:36 PM I have enjoyed these many stories about "Milton Creek." Maybe take all the writings from everyone and put them into a fun book. I enjoyed your fun write/picture. When you got to go, you got to go. Enjoy your day/week............. Lin Lane May 4, 2023 at 5:34 AM Hi Paula. The majority belong to Mayor Tom, and only at his discretion could that thought come to fruition. Thanks.

David Kavanagh April 28, 2023 at 3:05 PM I’m guessing the stranger had already started leaking on himself, when he seen the size of Toms weapon, super limerick Lin with just the right balance of humour, I’m sure Tania will love this one, and Tom too, cheers David Lin Lane April 28, 2023 at 3:17 PM ha David, that's entirely possible. Mayor Tom doesn't mess around with strangers comin' into the Creek. Thanks for the great comments.
