Notes About The Poem

I originally wrote this for the traditional limerick contest. However, it was suggested that "Dancing in Gertrude "was better for the contest. I'm glad I listened because it placed 5th place. Thanks Jan:-) Alexis

Tallahassee Man

There was old man from Tallahassee
Who loved woman and lots of whiskey  
           That played the banjo 
         Loud and sometimes low
But his devoted fans were only three
