Good morning to all of my friends and as out of my web I descend I merrily greet you (and to some, soon I’ll meet you! Hope all of my legs won’t offend). A [Minnesota Dope Fest](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38382) is imminent sandyr and we others are planning it. If it’s not too far others we won’t bar since there’s no [clique](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38032) here we’re indiscriminate. -----🙂 —////\\ ---

There is nothing worse Than this dogged verse Because I am poet And I din’t even know it Heavens, what a curse. There was a champion from Madras Whose balls were made of brass He had many a fan Cause evertime he ran Sparks flew outta his arse. ---

A Dope Fest which Spider attends And Sili his best regards sends It’d be great to meet you And properly greet you But of the US we’re at opposite ends There once was a miserly guy His stingyness known far and wide Too cheep was ol’ Bubba To pay for a rubber And now it’s the diapers he buys ---

Of these tidings I am the bearer: on weekends the limericks are rarer. The rhyming’s not rife; most dopers have a life, the un-cyber world’s draw is fairer. So now I’ll attempt a donation to add to this thread’s pagination till the others return from their weekend sojurn to this regularly scheduled station. -----😃 —////\\ ---

On a lazy Sunday afternoon In the beautiful land of the loon time to read and relax enjoy life to the max because Monday comes all too soon. Thanks to TroubleAgain’s contribution to help keep this thread’s resolution of entertaining the hippie with limericks quippy while he’s feeling the county’s retribution. ---

There once was an NFL team Who’s home games would rarely get seen But the day finally came And they showed the home game But the playing wans’t too keen (I mean the Raiders, of course) ---

You could alter your NFL likings and adopt as your new team the Vikings. Great new quarterbacking and receivers not lacking result in Purple endzone spikings. -----😛 —////\\ ---

For Spider Woman, most charming of arachnids: True, the Vikes have a new quarterback And he greatly improves their attack But my loyalty’s unswaying So I take pride in saying They’re still going to lose to my Pack. :D:D:D ---

A Cheese head checks in for a rhyme! “Grand!” I say “It’s about time!” Football topic’s a hot one and I’m sure it’s not done 31 teams make the pickings quite prime. So all of you sports fans out there Defend teams in a verse if you dare! Purple, Packers, Oiler fans; all of you loyally can praise your teams here if you care! ---

Well Spider’s point is easy to see But what kind of a fan would I be If I simply keep switchin’ To the team that’s most bitchin’? Nope, it’s Niners and Raiders for me! (Yeah, it’ll be a long season) There once was a Football Empire Who’s owner was forced to retire Now the coach can’t do squat With the lot that he’s got Maybe Siefert they’ll opt to rehire! (I mean the Niners, of course) ---

The Vikings are not a sure bet, Though I support their colors, and yet, It is fair to say, that I long for the day, When the Vikings were home at the Met. The Purple guys instilled such fear, Like headlights shined at a deer, The QBs they’d sack, putting each on his back, Their exploits were truly premiere! ---

Fran Tarkenton and Allan Page came from a past golden age. Bud Grant and Benchwarmer also are former now Carter and Moss are the rage. ---

The golden age of the Vikes, Was not for the eyes of our tykes, No endzone charade, or high five parade, The highlight was quarterback spikes. ---

I’ve had no new verses to share. I got hurt (tripping over a chair!).
