Thelma -Lou was Barney's girlfriend, it wasn't until "Return of Mayberry" when she became his wife.

Deputy of Mayberry - Barney Fife Lived a very hyper-kinetic life I always thought...he was gay But he just acted...that way Then I found out, Thelma-Lou was his wife He thought he was an expert with a gun But in truth, he never shot anyone He always trembled and shook When he would shoot at a crook But somehow, the old geezer...always won Limerick 4 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May 2-2-2019

Glad you explained about Thelma-Lou, Charlie. Back in the day, I'd never heard of "gay," but enjoyed Barnie's antics. Great reflection on the old series! Congrats on your first-place win, Carolyn

Barney MADE that show. Without him, Andy had nothing going but pure corn. Nice limericks, Charley. ~ Gershon

Yes and the shakiest gun in the West. Andy chided him but took up for him too! That is love.
