I’m not what anyone would consider a rabid sports fan. I love the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I still can’t sit for three hours to watch a game filled with constant annoying commercials. I now rely on Facebook to supply me with recaps on Monday morning. I was for many years a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates but that eventually faded away due to an organization afraid to spend money on exceptional players. They seem to have improved in this area this year, but I’ve been fooled before . . . so color me skeptical. One thing I’ve always loved even more than sports was any good limerick. I searched out a few samples about sports and I found them to be just as enjoyable as any sports event on television.

A showoff whilst skating on ice,

Turned a difficult somersault (twice).

He bounced on his head,

Spat out six teeth and said:

“I must try that again- it was nice!”

💥💥💥

I hit every home run we score,

I catch every catch and what’s more,

I aint missed a game,

You may not know my name,

But I’m up here in row eighty-four.

💥💥💥

I played a few times for the Yankees

(Though, as memories, I’ve tried to blank these).

I did what I could,

But I wasn’t much good,

And my antics had fans grabbing hankies.

💥💥💥

A team playing baseball in Dallas

Called the umpire “blind” out of malice.

While the ump had fits,

The team scored eight hits,

And a girl in the bleachers called Alice!
