Cletus O'Toole's Visit To Reno

Cletus O'Toole spent some time in Reno Where he lost his shirt playin' at keno This caused a great deal of strife With his long-sufferin' wife She raged on like a squally El Nino

A sad story but it does need mentioning it's legal highway robbery.

Smash hit, award winning limerick. Vegas is now a dive. I don’t know about Reno. Elena said vaporized pot fills the air. People don’t understand the HOUSE always wins. There are smaller Casinos to have fun in these days. Hugs, Pangie

Which is why many men go to Reno or Vegas without their wives! Enjoyed your limerick, Bob.

Thanks, Milt! I suspect Cletus' problems will multiply - like his wife going to Reno for a divorce! Take good care - Bob H
