Sainters Limerick Competition

[OneEyedSainter77]

Those catters, they like to complain:
"The result'd be different in the rain,
And if we had Ottens,
And Stevey J back, we've got 'em''
Can't wait til we smash them again!

One fine Sunday night, round bout lunch,
Those all-conquering cats we did thump,
But our captain kept cool,
and didn't go off like a fool,
Just a satisfied look and fist pump.

I've spent twenty years hoping and wishing,
Wondering if I should've resorted to fishing,
But after fourteen straight,
We're locked in the eight,
This September, the team's on a mission!

(I APOLOGISE FOR THE LAME FORCED RHYME)

The round was number fourteen
Docklands is where we lay our scene
Undefeated they met
On a ground slightly wet
Steve Johnson was nowhere to be seen

Enter a big ruckman
Who when the game began
Won the tap
Made the crowd clap
And cheer wherever he ran

When the game was on the line
And there to define
The ball was roosted
Gardiner felt boosted
And pulled down a mark divine

Poor Harry Taylor was knocked out
And Geelong fans did pout
He was stretchered away
The umpire resumed play
And Big Mick put the game beyond doubt

Many excuses Geelong fans have made
Believing advantage should not have been paid
But at the end of the day
And a marvelous display
On top the mighty Sainters have stayed

This year we'll win the Cup
So try to see it closeup
We'll shed many a tear
And drink plenty of beer
The long wait finally is up.

There once was a website
Where sainters would like to fight,
About Raph and his clangers,
And how good was banger,
And everyone thinks that they're right.

And one for today.

There once was a bloke called Raph Clarke,
Who most posters don't want on the park,
While many debate,
His disposal ain't great,
Quite honestly I couldn't give a F***.

Hickory Dickory Dock
Your head is like a c**k (male rooster moderators)
Your prose reeks my foul friend
It must come out you rear end
and makes you so easy to mock

Now here's a fave thread of mine
Instigated by our friend, starsign
But it should come to an end
Before the GF, my friend
When we all share the champers and wine.

[starsign]

Yep good idea Iceman, was going to give it a bump myself!


Will post a pic of what I had in mind for the great prize ASAP and fire up all the budding poets again

In fact ....I'll tell you all!

what I had in mind is a quite valuable piece of memorabilia....
not only Sainter Memorabilia but this photo that has become an Icon in Australian Sport....

see the bottom left of my avatar for the corner of it .....

I will frame up an original hand-signed photo

"the" photo.....of the great

Nicky "Elvis" Winmar
famously lifting the jumper to the Collingwood fans signed a little while ago for me and in my presence by the man himself!

I'll post a pic ASAP!


So get to it folks , just a simple 5 line traditional limerick will suffice, you only have a couple of weeks to go!
The competition is pretty good but not unbeatable at this time-on stage of the game
Have a read of what's been penned so far

"Next!!!"

[starsign]

just reading the carlton 2010 slogan thread and was inspired .....

Blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as blue in lament.
For my Carlscum team ran out of steam,
and instead of coming they went.

[Badlands]

A leader of men with a Phar Lap-sized heart
Whose workrate and effort are off the chart
And in time history will remember
That glorious September
When he tore the finals apart

*Bump*

[Iceman234]

With only two games to go,
This thread's ready to blow,
The starsign's abuzz,
With his picture of Cuz,
For the best "chuckle, ho ho ho"

There was an umpire from Glenhuntly
At a Saints game did whistle abruptly
Montagna played on, then elbowed his scone
Which caused him to cry "You're a #### Leigh!"

[St Loxton]

The skill of this gun will amaze
Opponents heads spinning for days
A warrior with class
Impossible to pass
This is the great Lenny Hayes
