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!

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.
