Out west lived horse thief, Billy Rio
who holed-up at Ranch Armadillo
till the cavalry came
shot a slug with his name
now Bill’s buried below lone saguaro

You would love visiting some of the old cemeteries here in Nevada–Virginia City, not far from me–“Hung, Horse Thief.” etc. That one is said to be haunted.

Sounds intriguing! My husband and I would be up for a ghost town adventure!

Oh I do love a limerick to start my day! Smiling I am and tipping the last drop of this first cup to you! 🙂 Good one!

A good morning to you, Lillian!

I was gonna write you a return limerick, but I see Glenn beat me to it. 😉
I was delighted by this! And by Glen’s response, too.

A fun take on the prompt! Nice to see something a bit lighter!

Thanks, Bryan…I left out the vultures 😉
May 04, 2016 @ 22:19:55
And now I feel inspired to write a limerick about vultures…

Love this. I usually shy away from limericks but I like yours!

Clever! I love it!

Poor Billy! Shot dead AND subjected to being the character of a limerick. What a terrible fate, though the limerick was great.

A tragedy indeed…thank you, Linda 😉

Excellent limerick Lynn ❤ ❤

I love it when a poet is so bold,
a limerick appears, humor is gold,
& levity takes on a feel of regal,
in flight like a wild seagull,
fun coming in from the cold.

Delighted by your response…Thanks, Glenn. (I was feeling rather “silly” for writing this after reading so many serious posts on the theme.).
