Loved this limerick Robert. I have been on some roads so filled with potholes even Joad would not be able to outmaneuver them. Thanks for the chuckle.

That Joad sure is a clever driver -- and thinks just as fast on his feet as a gentleman I know named Robert Hinshaw!! Great limerick, Bob. Keep 'em coming! Cheers, Gershon

Thanks for your gracious comments, Gershon. I usually drive the same roads to do business around here so I've figgered out where the potholes are and avoid 'em and haven't been stopped by the cops - yet! Best to you, friend - Bob
