Re: Silly Season Limerick Competition
Ulster's CEO is called Shane,
His CV is held by some in disdain,
His plan it sounds great,
The world we will dominate,
With players who are born again.

Re: Silly Season Limerick Competition
There was a young man called Marcel
He came here to give the opposition hell
But he only has one knee
He really needs three
For he wrecked one the first time he fell

Re: Silly Season Limerick Competition
Just a pity you didn't include in the rules that the limerick should scan ...BaggyTrousers wrote:... the Summer Limerick Competition.
Rules:
Your Limerick should be in standard five-line form
Lines 1,2 & 5 should rhyme as should 3 & 4, no arty farty none rhyming crap, though if it hints at a rhyme leeway will be provided
Every Limerick should be about a player, coach or office person up to & including Fit.
The winner will be the one that comes closest to making me spit out my coffee.
Maybe that was taken as read ........ by some, but clearly not all!
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

And surely Shan is our man
For he could compose
Some appropriate prose
Down n his caravan
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Our dear CEO often tells fibs
Our DoR an experimental Les Kiss

Would make you boke
We await our saviour Jonno Gibbes

On the message board UAFC
Was a debate around a player or three
Asked to leave or let go
Someone may know
In other leagues they can tear up a tree

Yeah, I noticed but you know me, I didn't like to be rude.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Re: Silly Season Limerick Competition
A Monaghan gentleman called Bowe
Down the wing like a rocket he'd go
He was felled by a Puma
And there followed a rumour
That he'd started to run very slow.

Re: Silly Season Limerick Competition
I don't mind if our lads lose some games,
As long as they don't play like dames,
But if they are trying,
season tix I'll keep buying,
And lumber Les Kiss with the blame.

Don't worry - I do know you and you'll soon be back to normal.
(or what passes for normal in your case)

Re: Silly Season Limerick Competition
Muddy, I love messing about with words too. When I was reading these I thought back over 50 years to the man who probably sparked the interest in me. When I was about 10 my blessed mother thought I was in need for larnin' til spake praper so she sent me to electrocution.Muddy Bless wrote:This is almost highbrow compared to some attempts.....

Turned out it was to a man I already knew, in a kind of way, for my mum & dad wanted to instil a bit of culture in us and often took us to the Lyric Theatre which in those days was in a tiny theatre in an upper floor of Mrs O'Malley's huge house between the Lisburn Road & Malone Road, I think Windsor Avenue.
The leading actor was a guy called Sam McCready and as a young teacher/part-time actor I suppose he was trying to make a few extra bob, so off to Sam's I went on Saturday mornings, a lovely house at the junction of the Kings Road & Sandown Road and there in the front room I was immersed in poetry and rather grand reading.
Anyway, I found this about him on t'internet http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/ ... 16350.html I hope he remains in rude good health and keeps educating, entertaining and interesting people in equal measure.
Thanks Sam.

Re: Silly Season Limerick Competition
A terribly nice chap called Peter
Was decent but not a world beater
He inspected a ruck
And the nickname had stuck
Until we spotted his height was two metre
