Sainters Limerick Competition

[starsign]

Reading through threads on team selection [/bUs ] v Carlscum and noting we are a club record 11 Zip I recon it's time to celebrate, relax, chill out a bit and enjoy the ride… agreed that all that conjecture and crystal-ball gazing is good stuff and I'll still have my 2 bobs worth!! ..

However ….. I just had this sperm of the moment idea...\
How about a Sainter Limerick Competition????
To cast our minds off this wonderful, new ground situation we all now find ourselves struggling to cope with!

My inspiration here is twofold....

Firstly ,]
as I mentioned , reading through the OP's pondering the ins and outs this week now that Kingy has earnt himself a rest it seems , and the TipRat and the Gilbo seem set to return. ...
I just thought there's a chance our Fisher of the Sam variety, may well pick up their Fisher , noting we even have another "fisherman" in the wings as well, and….

Secondly, and way out of leftfield….I was therein reminded of one of my all time favorite "limericks" viz...

There was a young fellow named Fisher
Who was fishing for fish in a fissure,
When a cod, with a grin,
Pulled the fisherman in ...
Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher.

Stupid I know ......
but what about having a go and composing a Sainter limerick ??
!
It's easy peasy !
You just stick to the centuries old rhyming , sing song patern

and I'm sticking my neck out here and offering a very exciting prize!!
(clue: my name & avatar!!)

OK For Starters ...

Could be present day champs eg...

There was a Saint Skipper named Roo....
Who....dah de de de dah dah ,
Dah dah de de de
Dah dah de de de
Dah dah de de de Dah Dah!! Too easy !

or Past Heros ...

Perhaps Greatest of all was the Doc....
(though the intention is here not to shock!!! )

OK so keep it clean for General Exhibition..right?

Villans even ...
We once had a gun named Robby Muir.....
Rhymes with? .Demure (yes, but not really)...manure...mm .. are you sure?????

Or whatever turns you on in terms of Sainter History ....

At the famous SCG one day,
A pig was set loose to run astray....
Dah dah de ded dah
Dah dah de de dah
And we all had a hell of a day….or did we?


GOT THE IDEA ...too easy!!!

enough prompts ...have a go!

( check out the avatar ... put Kingy and Mynott together (that’s cryptic)..and there's a pot of gold for the best effort ...maybe the next best too!
that's a promise

I am an old Sainter “Starsignâ€

[Iceman234]

Good idea to lighten things up in our times of despair...

There was an old Sainter called Billy
Who collects all good things willy-nilly
Then to all our surprise
He puts up a great prize
For five lines that we all think are silly.

[starsign]

Well done Iceman !
And your IT !
ie
official judge for thecompetition cos I've just ruled your credible attempt off side!! ...an also you owe me a beer cos i logged in to pick 37 points or whatever the exact winning score against the Lions was in the Margin comp and you'd already snared it SHEE!!... an I had to go 36 / 38 or whatever and only got 5 pts instead of the full 10 !!! I was cursing you big fella!
(followed up this week with 4 more though and I'm on a roll!!
And just between you an me and perhaps Eastern and Saints66 I got an absolute killer for prize for this little escapade so peeps better log in and go for it seriously ! ...(more clues on this as the game progresses )

[starsign]

actually clue no 1 on possible prize ... bottom left corner of avatar ... stay tuned folks and keep those entries rolling in!!!

[goodie]

There once was a ruckman named King
Who may have done a silly thing
On tv he was caughty
The media said naughty
So now the tribunal is overreacting

[saintDal]

There once was a man called Lenny
Could land a footy on a penny
Tough as guts
And a little bit nuts
I wouldn't trade him for Benny

[claystreet]

Tony Lockett in a pocket
His arms full of Krakours
one let off blew off his sock
the other one his knackers

[Badlands]

Carries himself with decorum
Despite getting rubbished on an internet forum
But when September rolls round
And there's goals going down
It'll be Jimmy, who'll be helping us score 'em

[Superboot]

There was a Saints captain named Roo
Whose limericks stopped at line two.

[starsign]

great Stuff !
was a bit worried last nights red wine injected "sperm of the moment" idea was going to be a bit aof a fizz ...
but no we are away and running !

loved Plugger losing one of his Akkers!

here's another topical one penned by she who must be

A great game has brought media praise to Big Koz,
Claiming him "back" even better than he was.
But he shoulda bagged eight
if he coulda kicked straight....
'cos the moz was put on Koz by Old Aus!

....

.mmm! but she's inelligible for a prize as she barracks for the filth!
.....we all have our crosses to bare



Anyway keep em coming and make Iceman's task even harder than this weeks selectors!
no strict rules except for the usual level of "forum decorum".... (see this rhyming caper is easy once you get the hang of it) ,

and you can go back and revist them or submit multiple entries if you like

[SaintDebi]

With a demeanor that almost seemed freezing
Ross must have only been teasing
When we started to win
He said with a grin
The real me is really quite pleasing!

[Milton66]

The great coach bled red white and black
But eventually was given the sack
He said "Rod, F*** you!"
I'm going to sue...
And get my annual leave back

[SaintDebi]

There was a midfielder named Lenny
Whose errors there hardly are any
He always stands tall
And his skill with the ball
Is what makes him a favourite of many.



A player we know as Raph Clarke
Gets plenty of time on the park
Saints fans he'll divide
And while many deride
Others think that he's right on the mark.

[Milton66]

The clock showed there wasn't much time...
Then a man called Breen, he did shine.
With a wobbly point.. he rocked the whole joint.
And we were premiers for the very first time.

Like it!

[Superboot]

At this rate SaintDebi is going to take all the prizes

[Milton66]

He was known as the great 35
For the premiership he always did strive
His team he'd inspire
To reach higher and higher
He's the greatest Saint still alive

[SaintDebi]

Sainsational is a fan site
Where I spend most of my day and my night
My husband says Deb
Please come to bed
Get Lenny in there and I might!



Oops. Naughty. Sorry. Momentary slip of morality.

Thats beautiful, your only human

I like this one...

[goodie]

There once was a player named Gilbo
Who looked a little like Bilbo
But boy he could tackle
And forwards he would shackle
Even though he's not built like Rambo

[Badlands]

His dash off half back's pretty slick
And to boot, he's an accurate kick
But there's some might not know
Another string to Chips' bow:
He can shoot 65 off the stick!

[Milton66]

There's a hard nut we love to call Bakes
He's a tagger who certainly makes
A champion like Judd
Totally look like a dud
When he tags him and puts on the brakes

[goodie]

The Saints have a player named Jones
A young fellow with plenty of stones
Look at him run
Might be a gun
Judging by the opponents he owns

[howlinwolf]

Kosi's luck with injuries are well known
For many a season they've blown
But Giansiracusa
I'll never excuse ya
For morals you've never owned
