Those first two guitar notes set Brokeback in motion
Brokeback - the subject of our devotion
Forever in our hearts,
And when Gustavo starts
We're bewitched by such a powerful potion!

I like it !   I bet you thought no one would EVER come up with that fourth line so you could finish it !   ;) 

I felt I had to refer back to the first line.  Especially since those two notes themselves are repeated in the score, after a timeless pause.

Hey, that's a great limerick! One of our best ones, I think!   ;D

Oh, I had no fear, as us Brokies are just clever that way.   :)  I had a few choices to finish it, but thought the one I posted is the best that I could come up with.

Thanks, friends!  :-*
