I’ve just spent almost two solid days online listening to assorted visitors from Europe showing their appreciation of this country. I knew in my heart that the media in Europe was doing what the Media in America always does, attempting to direct how we should think and feel about damn near everything. I’m no soccer fan and probably never will be but any sport that has such a rabid fan base is a wonderful thing to witness. I feel even more patriotic than usual and that’s difficult to imagine. I’m also having much better thoughts about the European people themselves but not their governments. So today’s post is an limerick alert of a sort with the following collection of limericks that are sports related. Enjoy…
💥
When we’re covered in mud in the rain
Both our teams look exactly the same,
And that last mucky maul
Must have buried the ball-
Bugger it! Let’s get on with the game!
💥💥
When I was a fullback at Villa,
Our goalkeeper was a gorilla;
Athletic King Kong
Never put a foot wrong
In a seven-six, extra-time thriller!
💥💥💥
A goalkeeper christened “The Cat”
Has been transferred for peanuts (plus VAT);
He acquired his name
In a vital Cup game –
He curled up in his box for a nap!
💥💥💥💥
The diagnosis of our first team boss is:
The reason for our recent losses?
We’re all in a dream,
We don’t play like a team,
And our goalie is useless with crosses!
