A born disciplinarian
Should have been a librarian
Shame about her crazy wit
Not everyone understands that bit
An avid libertarian…

I kind of thought you might me be calling yourself a goat. I once wrote a poem called "goat pity" and I was referring to myself as someone becoming an old goat. haha. LUv, andrea

sounds funny--a meticulous goat. They do clean up the greenery with zeal.

One of my best friends (an older lady) is a Libertarian and she's got a great sense of humor. I admire her so much. Enjoyed your limerick, Wilma. I think Libertarians are misunderstood. Love, Carolyn
