Inspiration breeds more inspiration... Thanks for your multiple comments.
Time to park your bedroll out in the dry desert for a spell pardner!
Great idea, old pal! Meet me at the Little Sahara over in Utah when the weather gets a little bit warmer.
Very nice, Ron. Kim inspired you, and now YOU have inspired ME. I will be posting my own limerick with the same or similar title in a few minutes.
