How High Noon Began

Cowboys facing off, feet spread wide 
One thing in mind, shoot his raw hide 
Blast rips, so it seems 
Oh no ! freakin' beans 
Now all showdowns, are aired outside

Wow, David, I can hardly envision the entire situation in my head. Back in the days, cowboy hygiene wasn't fairly up to scratch. In terms of the contest theme, this is a profound submission. Wishing you the best of success in the contest.

Heya Lasaad thank you for your visits today, I don’t write many Limerick’s, but this contest seemed to capture my imagination, your right cowboying was a dirty business in more ways than one back in the day, cheers David

Lol :-D Reading your limerick brought to mind a scene from the movie comedy "Blazing saddles." Where the cowboys were all sitting around the campfire eating re- fried beans. Needless to say, if you saw the movie, you know what happened after they ate those beans. Best of luck in the contest. Smells, opps I mean.. "sounds" like a winner to me! Cheers Anne :-)

You read my mind Anne, see my comment to Alexis below, that movie was a game changer back in the day, Nothing was taboo or sacrosanct, I remember watching it shocked and delighted, cheers David
