(Damn spidey… what time DO you get up in the morning???)
(And welcome to the newcomers)
You arise so early each morning,
When others are typically scorning,
Instead you are sweet,
posting limericks as treats,
You really should give us more warning!
I say this without any jest,
Today is not one of my best,
At eleven this morn,
life is reborn,
As a friend we are laying to rest.
SouthernStyle, sorry for your loss. I hope your friend had a good life.
SouthernStyle, I can say just one thing
Your friends leaving a new life must bring
And I wish that you would
Just remember the good
Let his memroy remove some of the sting
To call her a friend isn’t true,
She’s someone I never even knew,
But family support,
is what I purport,
In wishing their in-law adieu.
You’re a fine fellow, Southern.
Now back to NFL.
Since the Niners are gathering steam
And the Raiders are our next team
I find myself lost
As to who to cheer most
So I’ll just have to stay in between!
The game, I hope, will be a hoot
And for me there’s no loser to boot
If the niners can run
I think they will have won
By the time third quarter it will be moot
I know that some will complain,
But I simply must maintain,
That I shall rejoice,
when my team of choice,
Subdues a tame Hurricane. (Go Seminoles!!!)
BrothaTJ demeans my poor Pack
By talking of talent they lack.
It’s true, I’m afraid.
With the way they have played
They’re lucky they’re just three games back.
tradesilicon roots for the Niners.
A team which of yore played much finer.
In eleven more days
They will play in Green Bay.
Then which of us will be the worst whiner?
I just hope it’s not me who will whine.
But the chances are not looking fine.
For to lose at Lambeau
Used to be quite a blow
But it now happens lots of the time.
When there’s nothing to do, I complain
that my “job” is decaying my brain -
but today I was busy,
sent me into a tizzy,
I guess either way, work is a pain.
The Packers are easily beat,
To be just three games back is no feat.
Though the season just started
Their demise has been charted
By Chris Berman on TV last week.
Of football I’m not one to talk
My Bears barely manage to walk.
Our offense amiss,
I will tell you this:
Curtis Enis is no Marshall Faulk
Southern- A fan of the Noles!
Ah how my heart quickly grows!
Their ranking is rad,
This year they will add
To their streak of BCS bowls
(OK cop-out on the easy rhyme there…I got a meeting in 5 minutes ok?)
The Florida Coach said with a jeer,
“Will no team from this state persevere?”
I said to Coach Spurrier
“Please, don’t worry sir!
The Noles will be champions this year!”
When the sun has stopped giving its light
Limerick posters are no where in sight.
But since I’m a student
I think posting’s more prudent
To do late in the day or at night.
I know you’ll return in a while
To continue your limerickal style.
But for the time being
Other posts I’ll be seeing
I’ll be back on Thursday with a smile!
I’m a Tech fan, for sure, I’m a Hokie,
I don’t like the 'Noles, that’s no joke-y (???)
We’ve got Michael Vick,
He’s strong and he’s quick,
and he ain’t done no time in the pokey!
Well hey everybody I lied,
Could not fall asleep though I tried.
I returned to the site
And prepared more to write
When another new posting I spied.
I cringe to think that a Va. Tech fan
Could turn this into a Hokie dreamland.
Vick may be quick
But he’s prone to throw picks
And their schedule’s as soft as a wee lamb.
My rebuttal now etched on the screen,
I feel like a limerickal fiend.
I’m saying good bye-
And this time no lie-
Tomorrow we shall reconvene.
If with puns and cliches you regale,
cart them to our cyber garage sale.
Bring double entendres,
metaphors and analogies
no matter how trite or how stale.
We’ve got piles of virtual stuff
of which everyone has more than enough.
Bring many items or a few
or just browse; that’s fun too.
Just stay for a while, it’s not tough.

OK, it’s Bush and Gore time
While I didn’t go to Harvard or Yale
I can tell you these two are so stale
While they Gush and they Bore
Excuse me, but I snore!
Well, 'nuff said, off to the garage sale
How about our other Limerick loving friend?
Dear Zenster you misunderstand.
We have not forgotten our friend.
Though this limerick thread
has a new name at its head,
TN*Hippie’s the means to our end.
By his inspiration these threads started
(though for now the poor hippie’s departed).
But after five pages
the posting takes ages
So to this new thread limericks are imparted.
Soon danger will lurk on one night,
enough to give anyone fright.
Monsters, aliens, ghosts,
Goblins, heavenly hosts,
will wander streets bearing glow lights.
These costumed kids find it just dandy
to dress up, collect treats and candy.
They traipse door to door
to collect more and more.
A pillowcase keeps their loot handy.
But the scary part comes the next day.
Children return to school, home or play.
The care-givers are reeling
peeling kids off the ceiling,
with sugar highs and budding tooth decay.
Round this thread it’s become pretty dull;
I hope it’s just the usual weekend lull.
I hope this fine tradition
isn’t consigned to perdition
and many more pages will be full.
Now Zenster, I’m requesting your aid
since through circumstances two threads were made.
Both threads are now dusty
and my rhymings are crusty
the limericks are beginning to fade.

Hey Spider it’s not all that dull,
But the thread DID encounter a lull,
The lurkers may scoff,
but we took some time off,
Let’s resume with limericks artful.
Tonight I’ll watch as the Vikes,
And much to Tampa Bay’s dislikes,
Assails the end zone,
like a Kansas cyclone,
And shows off their fine end zone spikes.
(OK folks, the thread is back!!!)
The weekend has ended once more
And this thread, which we all do adore,
Has been once more revived
And you’ve all nicely strived
So my Monday won’t be such a bore.
Well, its Monday. You know that that means.
We shall talk about NFL teams!
For the big game tonight
Will be quite a good fight
And our eyes will be glued to our screens.
This Sunday was no happy treat.
'Cuz my Packers just keep getting beat.
They left their fair home
For the cruel Silverdome
Where they rarely taste much but defeat.
I was filled with such angry distaff
Their performance was simply to laugh.
They made a good run
With the game almost won.
Where were they the entire first half?
Favre dug a deep hole right away.
Two fumbles, three picks on the day.
It encouraged me none
To think he has done
Even worse in that dome when they play.
So again my hopes drop down a rung.
For the Packers are playing like dung!
Sure the season is long
And they could come on strong
But I think the fat lady has sung.
But I’m sure I’ll still watch every game
For I’m a true fan without shame.
I’ve lived through the dregs,
Through Infante and Gregg
I just hope there’s not more of the same.
My low point came Saturday night,
With the Noles and the Canes in a fight,
After playing real bad,
the joy turned so sad,
As we lost for the 3rd time “Wide Right”.
sigh…
