Limericks, Poems, and Haiku

Re: Moderators

Mods, it may well be time to shuffle all the limericks off into their own thread, no?


These limericks have got out of hand
Most certainly not what I planned
The fun of Froome bashing
Is not worth threads crashing
Please move them before I get banned

I'll start a new thread for limericks and gather the ones already created to populate it.

A timely response, Irondan
A thank you, I give, man to man
At even this hour
You flex your mod power
With no need to hand out a ban


Seriously though, I've no doubt that some people had seen enough of these, so best to corral them all together, and lay the groundwork for...god-only-knows what.

Excellent work.

There was a young lady called 'Chelle
Whose husband was going through hell
She found him a fax
To back up his attacks
And said 'Goodness, that turned out well!'

One I wrote to a doubter on another corner of the internet in 2013 who was getting some abuse from Lance, I mean Froome, fans.

Yours not to make reply,
Yours just to believe in sky,
Close your eyes and swallow the lie,
Onto the Champs Elysees,
Ride the two hundred.

There once was a doctor named Swart
Who focused his studies on sport
He came to The Clinic
Did not care to mimic
The ways in which others contort

or...

There once was a doctor named Swart
Who focused his studies on sport
He came to The Clinic
Did not care to mimic
Tho he'd love to see sniper in court

Froome update:

The man they call Christopher Clive
His career took a massive nosedive
For six million a year
He now rides at the rear
In preparation for win number five

So a few hours after my previous post Froome goes and puts in his most impressive performance of the season in Occitanie. So here's an update to the update

On Ventoux, they said he was done
No point turning up in Narbonne
But when the wind blew
The dawg knew what to do
And showed that he's still number one

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A guy who was dropped on San Luca
Had a fan who worshipped him like the Buddha
After a day in the wind
Where he got the hard miles in
Taxus could finally toot his own tuba

 

[rallybanana]

One morning there came an announcement
For Chris it just brought disappointment
He shed a quiet tear
Said "There's always next year
I just need some better equipment"

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Merckx calls him his heir for a reason
he's just unbeatable this season
He crashed giving others a chance
so in Liege Fatco could dance
but now Teddy is back for sure
to crush Skeletor at the Tour!
