Canary Limerick Challenge - `And The Winner Is´..................

As with all good awards we´ll begin
With third, which went, just by the skin,
Of his teeth, to Hucks
Not worth any bucks
I´m afraid, but not far off a win

In second spot, robbieBB
Whose limerick, I´m sure you´ll agree,
Showed just more than most
Why Lambert´s a toast
And his players too, quite definitely

But the winner was, with no debate
In my view, ChrisAcle08,
Whose words did appeal
To how we all feel
Right now, summing it up first-rate.

So here they are, the three that I´ll be sending off, but as always, it was very difficult to cut it down just to three. I also took into consideration those on the Preview thread, so everyone had a chance.

1. 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.

2. robbieBB:

With money so tight few´d have thought
That the players our manager bought
Would prove themselves able
To keep us mid-table
Thank you lads for the good times you´ve brought

3. Hucks for Manager!:

It was a dull game, truth be told,
We were struggling to break the mould,
But Jackson´s header was loaded,
Fratton Park exploded,
And on promotion we had a hold

But Maestro, I´ll be sending off your daughter´s effort as well, whether the club decide to find room for it or not, is up to them, but I thought she deserved a mention. I´ll explain that she´s a Junior Canary and how old she is, and I´ll let you all know, as soon as I know, whether it´s the Burnley or the Chelsea programme they´ll be put into.

I´ll see if I can´t persuade the club to run it for a fourth year, again next Christmas.

Good work RBF, and good work to all of the entrants, have enjoyed reading them!

 

Well done to ALL who took part, and a very big thank you RBF, for your time and effort that you put, not just into this but in all your prediction competitions, and all your poetic posts, keeping us all entertained!

 

Thanks fellas, but really I didn´t do an awful lot, all the hard work was done by the rest of you, for which I am truly grateful. I enjoyed reading them (several times as it happens), as always.

 

Thanks RBF - I'm dead chuffed that you chose my verse out of all the splendid efforts on display. Even brought a smile to the missus' face, who is still very poorly. Thanks again

 

RBF it's a pleasure to say
(In what's YOUR own inimitable way)
Thanks for the fun
And to Chris who has won
My congrats -- and 3 points on the day!

Nice one RBF. I particularly liked RR reference to Knute; he couldn't reverse the tide but our club certainly has under PL's leadership.

 

Well done all - especially the winners. What a talented lot.

 

Well done rbf, and thank you for choosing mine! I look forward to seeing it and the others in the Burnley programme.
