Almanac Poetry: Lockdown Limericks

 

There was a young man named Dimma
Whose eyes held a deadly glimmer
When he played he was hard
With complete disregard
But now he’s a coach he’s a grinner.

 

 

There was a young man named Trent
Led the Tigers in their ascent
To a feast of crow
And a joy overflow
In that 2017 event.

 

 

There was a young man named Jack
The gun of the Tiger attack
“Doesn’t matter how far
Or where the goals are
I’ll kick ‘em to Tassie and back!”

 

 

There was a young man named Dusty
Who hunted the ball robustly
Skill without end
With a fearsome fend
“I’m breaking away, just trust me!”

 

 

There was a young man named Lynch
Who flew and never did flinch
“I can take a big mark
And light up the park
And kicking goals is a cinch!”

 

 

There was a young man named Grimes
Who stopped them from scoring oftimes
So smart and adept
With a quick intercept
And his timing is so sublime.

 

 

There was a young man named Titch
Who darts with each muscular twitch
He’s clean and he’s quick
And he knows how to kick
Look out – he’s doing the switch!

 

 

There was a young man named Dion
Whose name should be lit up in neon
He’s a ball of meat
Who can’t be beat
And his jumper’s got number three on.

 

 

There was a young man named Bachar
Who became a backline dasher
When he thumped Jed Lamb
He took it like a man
Cause Houli’s no balderdasher.

 

 

There was a young man named Baker
With the face of an innocent Quaker
But he’s small and quick
And releases each kick
On the bounce like an LA Laker

 

 

There was a young man named Balta
Who sprints and never does falter
He streaks at pace
And delivers the ace
And leaps like a steeplechase vaulter

 

 

There was a young man named Shai
Who likes to run and play
Takes a glance outside
And a step to the side
With a duck and a weave he’s away.
