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?"
Downed a couple of whiskeys and slept.

In Riverton there was a grocer.
To Alma, he wished to be closer.

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!  ;D )

-----------------------------------

p/s: Janice - Thanks for changing that first line.  ;D  I was giving myself a migraine trying to find something to rhyme


           Sorry,
                                    I figured it was ugly to rhyme



     Beautiful mind

One day he took a chance
She took a glance at his pants

She took a glance at his pants
But next to Ennis, he was a dozer.

At night they shagged and saved the sleep.

Brokeback was their paradise,
