Let's write a Brokeback limerick! (How-to in first post)

[Mikaela]

Jack fell on his butt with a thud, and a rattle
And thereby flattened the coffee kettle
His butt was battered,
but what really mattered

Jack fell on his butt with a thud, and a rattle
And thereby flattened the coffee kettle
His butt was battered,
but what really mattered
His morning coffee was drunk in the saddle

[Lumière]

Time was never on their side.
So it was till the day Jack died.

[Mikaela]

Time was never on their side.
So it was till the day Jack died.
Yet in moments of grace,




(I agree about the "apples" rhyme. I got no further than "grapples" -  and couldn't find anything very useful to do limerick-wise with that!  )

[Pipedream]

Time was never on their side.
So it was till the day Jack died.
Yet in moments of grace,
Beyond time and space

[Lumière]

Time was never on their side.
So it was till the day Jack died.
Yet in moments of grace,
Beyond time and space,
Love surpassed shame or pride.

That night, she sat alone and wept

[Mikaela]

That night, she sat alone and wept
having learned the secret that Ennis kept

[Pipedream]

That night, she sat alone and wept
Having learned the secret that Ennis kept
So she lit up a smoke

[Mikaela]

That night, she sat alone and wept
Having learned the secret that Ennis kept
So she lit up a smoke;
"Is my marriage a joke?"
