Dunoon!
By audrie
27 January 2008
I do hope the PC brigade don't take offence at this!  I know several people who are gay, I have to say all young men, and they are the most delightful people.

And  they all thought this amusing!

A practising gay in Dunoon,
Took a lesbian up to his room,
As they lay on the bed,
The lesbian said,
'Who does what, and with what, and to whom?'

Perhaps I should have mentioned that I know several gay people, all of whom I think of highly. Don't want you thinking I'm homophobic. 
 
And, incidentally, they all loved this limerick!
Sorry,

I don't know how to delete the above comment, as I decided to put it in the 'author's comments' instead.

Hmmm! The two people in the poem - - - is this what they are? You are a really naughty lady underneath your bonnet. Do the gentile people of Eastbourne know what your hobby is? ha ha

Crikey - sounds like he needs plenty of practice if he's taking a woman up to his room. 
 
Enjoyed this.

I met this limerick long ago when it referred to young man from Khartoum -- and I have indeed used it in grammar lessons -- with adults !

Khartoum rhymes better than Dunoon.  
 
And as self-appointed spokesperson for the Cowal Peninsula Tourist Board I must object to the very suggestion!

It's not the gays and the lesbians; it's the hermaphrodites who have the problems!

... and they went on talking, for they weren't interested in each other?
Hello all,

I plead guilty to altering the name, but I didn't want a fatwa imposed on me! 
 
I thought the bonny Scot's spokesman for the CTPB might pelt me with haggis, but that was a risk I was prepared to take. 
 
I heard this donkey's years ago and wrote it down, as it amused me so much, but recently I came across it, so thought you'd enjoy it, too. 
 
Probably patterjack is the only one old enough to have heard it before, being of my generation. Isn't that right, Brian?
