Title: The Riverton Home for Orphaned Rhymes
Post by: TOoP/Bruce on June 11, 2007, 07:14:36 am
Subtitle:  "Rhymes against Nature (or is it Nurture?)"

Got a stray rhyme or couplet that needs a home?  Bring it here for adoption....

In the store,
a small girl sad,
Chokes back her tears,
and misses Dad.

The man named Earle,
Survived by Rich,
Was bound and bludgeoned,
in a ditch.

In Riverton,
there is a church,
that has a steeple
with a lurch

Before the the nuptial
vows were spoken,
fidelity was
already broken.

Jack never thought it
imposition,
When Ennis practiced
gruff coition.

The quarrel
by the laundromat,
was not their first
domestic spat.

At the fireworks
there was scene --
and those who witnessed
thought him mean.

He thought of Jack
with much elation,
As he performed
a calf castration.

In the closet
hang two shirts --
symbolic of
their love and hurts.

Inside the Grange,
there is a man,
who mumbles softly,
low and sad.

A hapless elk,
in the forest tread.
Jack got hungry.
Now it's dead.

in the alley
Ennis heaved.
Someone saw him.
He got peaved.

Bobby's
dismal education
Caused poor Jack
much consternation.

Dejected,
Jack tried prostitution,
And grew a moustache
of disillusion.

Cute!

Feels like these should all end:  "Brokeback Shave"
I'll have to work my brain and come up with a couple.

The minister by whom
Ennis' parents were buried
Stood tall before them
as they were both married.

"Why is that, Jack?"
Lureen had said.
Her look shot daggers
at his head.

His body now cremated,
His wife, she scarcely cried.
His ashes (now divided)
in two places now reside.

Lureen rolled her eyes
"Husbands don't never
dance with their wives."

He put "17" on his box
it looked better,
though he knew in his heart
there would be no letter.

An acrid,
feline, fulsome scent
issues from
the canvas tent.

Their mouths had met
Like lock and key.
Alma watched
Dumbfoundedly.

The Chatterbox

The hippie scene --

The sleigh-ride ends
in mock attack.
He wrestled her
and thought of Jack.

She penned a note
and sat at table.
She kept her cool

No "ifs", no "ands", no "buts",

What Ennis liked
don't make no babies.

Some thought Lureen hard
But seldom sleazy...
She expressed her grief
With "Nice n Easy".

          Mama Twist was very morose
          When Ennis showed up
          She looked like a ghost
          Then bade him return, as a good host

             Jack wanted to buy Jimbo a beer
             But the calf ropers were  standing near
             Jimbo declined with distaste
             Said ''Jack your money don't waste'' With a sneer

Jack Twist was a fun loving "fella"
But LD Newsome thought he was "yella"
One Thanksgiving Day Jack stopped being meek
And told LD he'd knock him into next week.

(GO JACK)!!!!!!

    Year upon year, they rode to the outback.
    It was never enough according to Jack
    They rode and they rode to mountains a plenty
    Jack`s declaration of "quit," gave Ennis an attack.

Ennis liked Jack's lovely rump,
Methinks this thread deserves a bump.

No falsely modest laundry prude -
Jack washed his clothing in the nude.

Ennis warshed carrot and onions in plain view,
while Jack peeled taters for evening stew.

Jack and Ennis still have our attention,
with their behavior and sexual tension.
