Windy Bill (metrical revision)

Windy Bill was a cowboy from Butte
who so dearly loved beans and his flute.
After chow he would blow
from his head to his toe.
Such a gassy old flute-tooting coot!

Hi Ace,

Thank you so very much for reading and commenting!!! I'm glad you really like the last line!! I really like that one very much too.

As for line 2, it is eight syllables long and should be nine syllables, so I'm leaving it as it is. As for dropping the "s" in "toes," I think you have a good idea there, so I'm going to take your suggestion. Thank you!!

Again, thanks for reading and commenting!!! Much appreciated!!!

Peggy
