I originally wrote this for the traditional limerick contest. However, it was suggested that "Dancing in Gertrude "was better for the contest. I'm glad I listened because it placed 5th place. Thanks Jan:-) Alexis

There was old man from Tallahassee Who loved woman and lots of whiskey That played the banjo Loud and sometimes low But his devoted fans were only three 4-14-18 Alexis Y.
