Cubs Limerick Weekend?
Al's haiku Friday seems to have been quite a hit- with many BCBers penning very clever verses. So I propose a "Cubs Limerick Weekend". A limerick is a five line poem with a strict form (AABBA) [no, not the music group silly] and is intended to be humorous. Some can be baudy and some even obscene.
For the sake of a PG rated blog, let's keep the obscene stuff out of the postings. I'm sure Al would appreciate not having to spend his weekend deleting "clearly over-the-top" material.
But have fun. Here's a starter:
There once was a right fielder from Nantucket
who couldn’t catch balls with a bucket.
They’d bounce in the stands.
He’d shrug, hips with hands
and snarl: “What else you got?” Nothin’? Then #&%@##!*^#!

I'll have a go.
There once was a man named Sianis
whose pet from the park they did banish.
He let out a curse

and may all your World Series hopes vanish!”

Here's another:
There once was a Cubs fan named Steve
Who wore his Blue heart on his sleeve.
He leaned on the wall
And reached for the ball
And security asked him to leave.

The year was two thousand and three
The World Series we Cubs fans could see
We were 5 outs away
The momentum did sway
But at least we wound up with D Lee
Never done one of these before...
There was a cute cat,
Warm and fuzzy and fat,
Her picture was posted at Bleedcubbieblue,
In reply to a turgid comment by BLou,
And now she’s mad as a bat.
Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense.

my turn
hickory dickery dock
Hendry has been on the clock
not a deal was made
while BCB crazed
MB should be tosed out on his jock
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Lemme try one...
There once was a man named Jake
To not trade for him was a mistake
His arm got away
And waddya say
Hes now on the wrong side of town.
Milton is our quarterback.
OT lol my favorite limerick of all time....

There once was a white boy named Dice
Who looked like Fonzie on steriods
blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah
My big black foot in yo’ a**
LOL sorry had to :-)
Gotta say, Zeke, these are fun! Nice idea.
Hear the tale of this player named Bradley
With a penchant for behaving badly.
On the bench did he sit
’Cause Lou thought he was s**t.
Refrigerator.
Wait…

I'll give it a shot...
There once was a fielder named Ryan
the wrong side of the bag he was tryin’
Though his batting average was more than much
he had that damn double clutch
A real shortstop is what Hendry should be buyin’
Nobody cares about your fantasy baseball team
Weird, I was just about to post this one:
There was a shortstop who was scrappy,
But his defense, alas, was quite crappy.
If a deal could be made,
I’d approve of a trade.
A real shortstop would make me so happy.

here ya go
He was a player they called Fukudome
Whose bat did not equal Jom Thome
He was a very nice guy
With smile he always did try
Did he ever call DLee his homey?
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Jim not Jom haha

There once was a Cubbie named Banks
Who the bleacher baskets we can thank
But Morgan didn’t get straight his facts
and the network didn’t lower the ax
Because Steve Phillips was boinking the intern who looked less like a Francine and more like a Frank…

One for #19
There once was a Cubbie named Trillo,
Who grabbed every ball he could see-o.
He’d scoop it and twitch,
And count every stitch,
And throw it to first one, two, three-o!

There once was a night game at Shea
as the ‘69 season slipped away.
The Mets, they did roll
as the umps took their toll.
Agee’s gift kept the poor Cubs at bay.
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
I haven’t got anything to say
I thought about it all damned day
I’ve read and read
What all of you said
I just want the Cubs to play
A woman's guess is more accurate than a man's certainty.--Rudyard Kipling
Here's a weak one....
There once was a man named Bradley.
Who slumped on the field quite sadly.
He hit like Mendoza,
Made fans miss DeRosa
I hope last season was a Fad(ly)
