Got Some Brokeback Limericks?
« on: November 11, 2006, 05:16:01 pm »
The brokeback poetry here, wonderful as it is, has a serious dearth of limericks!  Let's remedy that situation forthwith.  I've got a "classic collection" (which originally appeared on TOB last year) plus a whole saddlebag of new ones.  Enjoy, and post yours!!  (Or just leave comments.)


(This is not to be confused with the "Let's write a Brokeback limerick" thread over on The Lighter Side.)

Brokeback Limericks — the "classic collection"

Way up on that high Brokeback Mountain
J and E did some fine layaboutin'
At the end of it all
They'd had quite the ball!
but a bit fewer sheep for the countin'.

Most cowboys high up on a mountain
would say "I ain't queer, I'm not outin'!"
but Jack's big baby blues
in the tent, were no snooze
and big Ennis made like a fountain.

Ennis's teeth were a-chattering
and Jack said, "Get in, quit your hammering!
Above shines the moon,
and with sweet spooning, soon
my Y chromosome won't be mattering!"

When Jack laid his eye on fair Ennis he
was impressed by his fine masculinity!
They talked a wee bit,
he got Ennis lit,
and gently lassoed his virginity.


Two lonesome cowboys really clicked
like proverbial thieves, getting thick!
With youthful exhuberance
each sprang a protuberance
the booze and cold couldn't constrict!

Repeat the work? Jack didn't get to.
For some sheep were not found in situ.
Love wasn't as fleeting;
Jack found himself bleating,
"I wish I knew how to quit you!"

Also check out the BBM Limericks thread on the Lighter Side forum!  ;) 
A bunch of us love to play there and it's a blast!

For decades poor Alma was wishing
for passionate conjugal frission.
too long without it
she finally shouted,
"I knew all along you weren't fishing!"

From the long languid looks, ever slower,
to the riveted jeans being lowered . . .
Finally screen satisfaction
for the straight female faction!
A total, erotic mind-blower!

One I wrote shortly before the oscars:

An Oscar our Brokeback should win
despite homophobic chagrin!
Good for you, Annie Proulx.
(And the soundtrack should do
even better than Ropin' the Wind!)


Then after the oscars:

To the shock of the entire nation
Brokeback got next to no validation
at the end of the day
I've just got to say
This is a !@#$% !@# of an unsatisfactory situation!

Ennis and Jack discussed God
and the Pentecost (hmm, rather odd)
for Jack played harmonica
in a hat, not a yamulke
and coveted his neighbor's bod!

Ennis sat on a hillside and pondered
upset their summer was sqandered.
Brokeback really got 'em —
him top, Jack the bottom
And it all just felt so good down yonder!

A cow and calf operation was Jack's fondest mission,
With Ennis by his side, he was wishin'
Jack took up one day
with Randall, some say
And they still didn't do any fishin' !
