    For all of those who enjoy these
    And want to take part in this wheeze,
    Around Christmas time
    Then let me remind
    You all, there´s a chance here to seize

    The club have again agreed to
    Print three of the best, in my view,
    In a match programme
    Early in Jan
    So there´s time yet to plan what to do

    This will be the third time in all
    That I´ve raised a limerick call,
    But the first time here
    So I hope you´ll care
    To join in, and make it a ball. <cheers>


    Thread will go up on Dec. 1st and be open for entries until Christmas Eve. If there do happen to be any here who haven´t got a clue what I´m talking about, <laugh> and if you can´t wait until December to find out, I´m sure our venerable chief moderator, as a recent beneficiary, will put you straight. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    A limerick is easy to do,
    Just watch and I'll give you a clue!
    So practise a while
    To write in this style,
    All about PL and his crew

    <cheers>

    Let me tell you a thing about Dave
    To this forum he's now like a slave
    When threads are slow comin'
    Dave's keyboard starts hummin'
    And he's off on another rant or rave.

    Just to recap then RBF and Dave

    A poem of five lines. Yes?
    I hope my effort won&#8217;t be a mess.
    To be as good as you
    Much racking of brains, I&#8217;ll do
    And hope that I wont get in distress

    Maestro, you´ve got it in one
    So we´ll see you then soon for some fun,
    Five simple lines
    Describing the times
    And all the games our team have won. <ok>

    Is there a limit to how many offerings we can enter?

    Yes! You can only enter as many times as you can get in within the time-limit!

    2011 at carrow,
    City straight like an arrow,
    head for the win,
    in the last min,
    the margin of victory narrow,

    RBF....I have to say my daughter has just put me to shame.
    She's Junior Canary and she's 8.
    She's asked me if she could have a go and this is what she came up with..........

    PL is the best manager of all
    When City win, we have a ball.
    And if we lose,
    There won&#8217;t be many boos
    With PL in charge, we will rule all.

    Maestro your daughter is putting us all too shame. Or is this a X factor style sob story?

    You'd better not win Maestro! If you do, we'll all know where it came from!

    That was all her own work. She got the right hump when I suggested she change some of the lines.

    Think I may well have to keep my offerings to myself now

    Don't you just hate it when your kids can do better than you. Sure sign of old age now.

    She was learning about Nelson the other day at school, so I told her where he was born and that I went to his school (Paston).
    She only then asked me if he was clever in class, then went one better and told her class that I actually went to school with him <yikes> <zimmer frame emoticon>

    ´tache you´ll be very welcome to join, we know you´re never short of a word or two ;), can´t promise you´ll be one of the chosen three though. <cheers>

    and Maestro,

    very talented daughter, I´d say

    Here we go then. How much for this to be voted better than an 8 year olds RBF <begging emoticon>


    With the maestro PL in charge,
    We really can give it some large.
    Whether we win or draw,
    Just hear the City roar.
    When Holty, through the opposition will barge.

    All my OWN work <proud emoticon>

    I'd judge that as coming from a 9 year old
