Come canaries now is the hour
To really crank up your power
There should be no reason
Come the end of the season
Over all other teams you do tower.
 
Although the offering of late has been poor
The 26k CR faithfull are sure
When the season is compleat
and the Binners twice beat
we will be in with a shout thats for sure
 
Come on City fans never fear
Soon our boys will get in top gear
and soon you will see
that our destiny
is to be top at the end of the year
 
It begins at Preston N E
And how far we go we shall see
Let's not get knocked out
So we can all shout
We're going to Wem-ber-Lee.
 
We had a striker who hailed from Carlisle
A legend, who made everyone smile
He could jump, he could run
And he scored goals for fun
With power, deft touches and style.
 
After the coin has been tossed
We must make sure the game is not lost
All the teams that we meet
We must try to beat
And get out of this league at all cost.
 
It's a longer story, but basically if I have trouble sleeping instead of counting sheep I'll make up limericks. It started years ago when I was first married I wanted to amuse my wife and make her laugh in bed and see where that would lead. Hopefully now I can remember them in the morning.

I don't need limericks to make my missus laugh in bed.
 
A tricky young wide man called Redders,
turned out to be quite good at headers.
he twists, feints and turns,
with enough pace to burn,
and on up the table he led us.

(Hopefully, as long as there's nothing in this red-top Lolerpool rumour <ok>)
 
At Carrow rd we're the hosts
With Ruddy between the posts
There's not many hotter
Than our shot stopper
In fact he's better than most.
 
In East Anglia we have been the best
the last 3 times Ipsquit have tried to test
after Xmas you will see
we will climb up the tree
beating all that come north south east or west
 
Jerome and Hooper will make a pair
Green and yellow the colour they wear
the crowd will yell for more
as in match they will score
and make Ipsquit crumble with fear
 
The road to the Premier League is hard and long,
Our team's resolve, it must be strong,
Each game they must prevail
And not see us fail,
If we're to return where we belong.

I feel sure Muttley could do better than this LOL.
 
As part of Canary nation
I walk to the ground past the station
As I stroll by the river
I get all of a quiver
And hopefully when I return, with elation.
 
Deadline Passed, and thanks to all those who got involved, particularly wi-exile, who I think must have used up his year´s supply. Judgement will be made very soon.
