As we wait anxiously for Thursday's announcement of the test 23, how about some Lions limericks to pass the time:


There once was a Lion called Halfpenny,
Whose kicks, he did not miss many,
His defense was robust,
He attacks if he must,
Under the high ball, he'll contest any.


Do your worst!

There once was a Lion called BOD,
With skills reminiscent of God,
Two bad guys in black,
Knocked he Lions of track,
When driving him into the sod.

There once was a fat man called Gatland
Who coached a team far from his homeland
He quickly demised his selections would be despised
But really all he cared about was securing a 
series victory that would make the NZRFU sit up and take notice so that they might give him the job that he truly prized.

The once was a squad dressed in red
Who awaited a selection with dread
The names were called out
Some weep and some shout 
But in the end they all stay in bed

There once was a Lion called Cuthbert
Who thought he was a bit of a tough nut
His attack play is sound
When he's allowed to run round
But his defence is a little guff butt

There once was a coach called Robby
Who made boring selections into a hobby
He cared not a jot
Because an Aussie he was not
And with powerful friends for his job he did not need to lobby.

RDW my Gatland limerick was a representation that Gatland will not follow convention and will do anything to get his point across. Smile

There was a wise Lion called POC
Who was an outrageous Lock
He ate raw Kangaroos
Whilst absorbing the boos
And made Genia look a complete C-ock thumbsup

The Lions are sleeping and snoring
So what if their rugby is boring
They'll apply all their might
Hope the Aussies are Poopie
And come Saturday we'll all be roaring!!!


You'll have to substitute poopie for a similar word rhyming with Tight  Very Happy

There was a young man from Wales
But Vunipola didn't much like snails
So he crossed over the river
all of a dither
In England they're more accepting of whales

There was a young fly half named Farrell
Whose performances had him somewhat over a barrell
Still he was enjoying the tour
and couldnt be happier
But that wouldn't save him from the daily whine about him from mafia...

One last time he answered the call
But Brumbies are strong
Game plan all wrong
Gatland's Lions have taken a fall

There was a odd man called Cummins
who took a few too many bummings
it sure effected his brain
cause his interviews are insane
That funny old man called cummins.




"Gershon Legman, who compiled the largest and most scholarly anthology on limericks, held that the true limerick as a folk form is always obscene, and cites similar opinions by Arnold Bennett and George Bernard Shaw, describing the clean limerick as a "periodic fad and object of magazine contests, rarely rising above mediocrity." From a folkloric point of view, the form is essentially transgressive; violation of taboo is part of its function."

whos resources look increasingly barren
he has no plan b
that anyone can see
and now he's in for a hard one.

There was a fat commentator called Barnes,
Whose legs were as short as his arms,
His knowledge of the game
Drove spectators insane,
So he settled for repeating old yarns

There once were 4 blokes named ickle, wade, barritt and 36
Which late call ups left them in a bit of a mix
The brumbies won the game
Lions fans cried shame
So the coaches dropped them all for playing bollix...

A huge centre by the name of Jamie
Could run thru defences quite carefree
Look set to partner Bod
Got injured yet bod said thank God
Cos the other centres would pass to me more freely...



Gonna refer to a boner now as a trouser sneeze..

All these Lions threads on this forum
Can descend into fights that get quite boring
So thanks for introducing some bright cheer
You've earned yourself a large beer
Oh and by the way the Lions are going to get a mauling.

but still nicks the odd score
so most people think he's a shoe-in

Who declared, 'The ARU owe me',

so he went off in a strup,
Saying, 'My money or you can blow me'

A fine rugby team called the Lions went to Australia
And played great rugby with no fear of fail-ia
They won a great white-wash
Whilst the Aussies were tosh
And Phillips was declared better than Will Genia.....


Needs work.......

There was once a whinging Aussie called Bob Dwyer
Of his total nonsense we all did tire
Gatland told him where to stick it
Dwyer moaned "that's not cricket"!
And from puditry Dwyer did retire....

"Ode to Shane"

He prefers Piri Piri to Smoked Hickory
And he's known for his magic and trickery
He flew from Japan
Playing not in the plan
He's retired more times than Phil Vickery
