One more of our traditions here
The Limerick Challenge, so dear,
Received the green light
From the club last night
To continue into its fifth year
They have promised me once again
To print the three chosen ones, when,
In earliest Jan
They find a programme
So into action, gentlemen (and any ladies, if we have any)
And put down, if you´d be so kind
Whatever you have on your mind,
Of Canary thoughts
In these five-line ´shorts´
And very soon the time I´ll find...
...to judge which three of them are best
In this recurring Juletide test,
So they may be sent
From Dubai or Kent
Or from whoever this year is blessed
And although we may not agree
That Hughton should be top of our tree,
Not everything´s bad
So please, not too sad
If you partake of this Christmas spree. OTBC
And as we´re celebrating our 5th anniversary, here are the last 4 years´ winners with their entries.
2009 - redruthyella:
There was a young man from Carlisle
Who's our leading scorer by a mile,
By the end of the season
I can´t see a reason
Why we won´t be top of the pile
2010 - speedywideman:
We all turned up one Sunday lunch
To see the old Suffolk punch,
Holt three he did score
Whilst City got four
Back to Ipswich they went with a crunch
2011 - ChrisAcle08:
Our football is a breath of fresh air
There is talent in abundance and flair,
It´s the sum of our parts
That´s warming our hearts
Making others stop, take notice and stare
2012 - redruthyella:
There was a young man from E7
Was a full back in the old Spurs eleven,
His skills as a coach
So far beyond reproach
Orchestrates the Canaries like Previn
All the best, and try and keep it clean(ish), and remember Christmas is a happy time, and a time for goodwill towards all men.
Deadline for entries, Christmas Eve at 10 pm.
Yours, rbf
