Indeed

There once were some people called "gay"
Who were used to getting their way.

If there is anything that defines the gay experience in America, it is the feeling of getting what one wants

You did mean it that way right?

LOL!

Those were good!

I'm surprised Pee-ter has time to sit around writing poems for us.  The gay porn new release pickings must be slim this week.

The Peter broke the irony meter

From an article at the "Americans" for "Truth" about Homosexuality website:
I don't know about Richard Roeper (pictured at left), but it is curious that this "swinging bachelor" opines in print about how Americans need to "get over" their objections to seeing two men kissing on the big screen.
Maybe ol' Pete thinks that Richard Roeper should also get himself a beard?  It works for him after all.

My America includes LGBT families.

Sorry, Peter...

There are three categories of limerick:

I) dirty limericks
II) limericks about limericks
III) bad limericks

While it's possible for a limerick to fall into more than one category (combinations of I and II are popular, and some manage to be all three), every limerick falls into at least one of those categories.

And, Pete?  Your limerick isn't dirty, and it isn't about limericks.

OK, I'll try my hand at a III-type limerick

There once was a bad man named Peter
Who thought Jesus couldn't be sweeter
Found out when he died
How much he had lied
And now is Hell's hottest cock eater

Ode to The Peter

There's a sad little bigot named Petey
Whose energy could help the needy
Instead he delights
In opposing gay rights
Even God wonders why he's so seedy.

---

by: Naperville Mom @ Sat Dec 06, 2008 at 01:39:06 AM CST

I love it, love it, love it!

Your limerick is perfectly formed
And shows Petey as truly deformed
You are able to write
His spiritual plight
Proves you're crafty as well as informed

As I've heard it said before...

There's nothing worse than a self-hating homosexual. Suck on that, Peter. You're nothing more than a nasty son of a bitch. Rot in hell.

Oh, and something else...

Schoolyard taunts are SO 5th Grade. If you're not mature enough for ADULT discussion without going "nyah, nyah, faggots" then go fuck yourself-on the other hand, that's probably the only way you get laid.

Pebbles

Given the amount of time the Peter spends with Bam-Bam, shouldn't he be called Pebbles?

(I tried to think up an appropriate limerick but couldn't - if anyone else can, feel free to publicise it!)

Pebbles

There once was a bigot named Petey,
Who constantly searched for a sweetey
He met Bam-bam
who loved to eat ham
Now Pebbles is his completely.

IML & Folsom

Petey like to save clippings
From his S&M trippings
Which goes to show
that some people
Self-hatred is better than whippings.

THANKS all...forwarding Limericks to JH...

Here was my first comment....and a WONDERFUL Response... GO MASS!

Oh, yeah fun...I'm not that creative, but I know some here will be. ?However, your last stanza caught me, as I was just thinking...why on earth aren't we hearing HORROR stories out of Massachusetts??!! Gee, if things are OK there and there has been this GOD awful Gay Marriage in place there, and peoples kids being 'exposed' to it and all...why haven't we heard of all the nasty conversions and attackes etc. ?Don't tell me things are working well in a state where that dreaded SSM is allowed?? How can that be. How about from all the COUNTRIES where it is allowed. There must be some $$ going into real sociologic studies, haven't they revealed the HORROR yet?  ..

LOrion: I've tried to suggest that folks point to Massachusetts to demonstrate that the foretold calamities have not befallen our fair state. One major thing that has happened  is that our sports teams (save for the Bruins!) have all had championship seasons in the years immediately following marriage equality:?2003: New England Patriots (football)
?2004: Boston Red Sox (baseball), New England Patriots (football)?
2005: (okay, we're not?
2006: always all that great)
?2007: Boston Red Sox (baseball)
?2008: Boston Celtics (basketball)
HOWEVER, there are things that have happened that the enemies of marriage equality would consider "bad." Things such as?
-- gay and lesbian couples are accepted as part of society, and no one blinks when I (a guy) say, "my husband"?
-- straight people, even those who are a little anti-gay, aren't all bent out of shape by the existence of married gay couples
?-- kids think it's okay for gay people to get married, or that it's even EXPECTED that gay people will get married
?-- people find it easier to come out of the closet and be true to themselves, leading to happier lives for all involved
?-- people wonder what all the fuss is about in California (look at the donations in favor of Prop 8: there were 19 reported donors from Mass, who gave a total of $7450, compared with 895 people who donated to No on Prop 8)
These scare the crap out of our enemies because this shows the true power of love and family, and it tells them that they will ultimately lose -- and they know it. They're scared.
Actually, I think this IS why they're not bringing up Massachusetts all that much.

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.

Sorry....well not really.

To get serious with the above comment.  But that was SUCH a good reply, I had to post it. Can't we start a new thread? or Agenda, or something about it...e.g. just what SSM has meant to Massachusetts?

Can't we get the gay benefactor that gave out $$ to GLBT organizations last year to fund a real study...or even just pay for ads every holiday showing loving GLBTQA's and extended families enjoying them. From grandparents...all the way to grandchildren, friends and yes, even co-churchmembers.  

Cuz according the MASS person above, things are just fine in a state with SSM. 

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.

Limerick

There once was a man named Labarbara.
His brain only gay thoughts could harbor.
"God grant me my wish,"
"For a man with no swish"
Said his wife as she pegged him much harder.

The Skeezer

There once was a "christian" named Peter
whom the homos all thought was a cheater
He trolled gay bars, in leather
While his children together all thought daddy was a lame skeezer.

Not a limerick, but

... and forgive me if you have already seen it, but here's Digital Cuttlefish's wonderful poem on Prop8.
