Barney and Bill walked up a hill With buckets they needed to fill The well had gone dry They thought they might die Until they discovered the still They both reach down and grabbed a jug Sat down on the ground on a rug Then returned to town And told what they’d found The people all gave them a hug The rug was really too furry The moonshine made their eyes blurry When you hide a still From Barney and Bill Take your time, don’t get in a hurry

Glad you liked it, I'm beginning to write more limerick to lighten the mood a little, I can get a little too serious for approaching 80. LOL Have a great week, Jan. Bill

Roughly about the adventure of me and my cousin. He lived in a town, pop 106, when we were late teens. He was always getting me into something I knew better than to be doing. Living in the country was different than living in the city. Thanks for the visits, my friend. Bill

I need to be funny to keep from being so serious all the time. Glad you liked it. Big hugs, Bill

Ha!! Ha!! Well, was someone in big trouble or did the people let it slide? Thanks for sharing the humor with us. Sara K

I think they are my neighbors down here in the Ozarks. We have what is called the annual Boo and Brew on Halloween. My eyes have been blurry a few times for sure. Nice trio of limericks my friend.

Thanks, Jerry. I'm a fan of the Ozarks and Arkansas. Great place to visit. We've been to Little Rock a couple of times in the last few years. Have a pleasant weekend, my friend. Bill

LOL, they were willing to share with the folks in town. I'm sure they'd share a jug with you too. Have a great weekend, David. Bill

Hello Bill, this made me smile and not because I have been drinking but the clever words in your limerick. My brother use to have a still. LOL - Daniel

A tale in limerick style. So well composed. Hope they are not too dunk.

Nope they shared a jug, and it only took a few slugs. Thanks for the comments, Victor.

LOL, it may seem like it, but I'm just trying to write more of these to get used to it. I can get in a rut pretty ease though, good observation, Lin. Have a nice day. Bill
