There once was a pianist named Jeremy
Who flew out to give concerts in Laramie
But as he sat down to play
A rip at his rear made him say
"My buttocks are really quite bare, Ah me!"

Made the meadowlarks coo
But the bison just stand there and stare at me."

A girl from Cheyenne
Took one look at his span
And remarked, "I think that boy should marry me."

As he flew over town,
He started to frown,
And thought,"This place is too small for a talent like me!!!!"
Thank you, Matthew. I rather liked your bison myself. :) Here's another one:

Such passion he wrought
More music they sought
So the next year they got Neeme Järvi.
(How often does one get the opportunity to use "Neeme Järvi" in a limerick? :D )

Said he,"I hope they like Bach; if they do, I'm a lock. And if not, I'll pull out the Debussy!"
I'm so touched by all of your efforts.
