| Brendan Lawlor | May 11 2022, 9:51am | Tomorrow is aul Limerick Day, After Covid times, months often grey, So get thinking caps on, And give members some fun, Its the fifth line that counts, so they say. |
| Warren Swords | May 11 2022, 10:41am | This Saturday is the Wicklow Way Relay, Where hundreds will start without delay. I once gave a runner the slip, Saw them go wrong, but hid at a dip, So reccee the route or expect delays and dismays. |
| Justin Rea | May 11 2022, 12:29pm | Your limericks have jumped the gun, It's okay as a bit of fun, But remember an early starter. Doesn't qualify as smarter, The main field will pass at a run. |
| Barry O'Neill | May 11 2022, 1:37pm | One day we were up on a hill, The wife said she forgot the pill, Despite all the fun, Should have went for a run, The twins were named Jack and Jill. |
| Raghnall O'Donoghue | May 11 2022, 2:32pm | There was a runner from Glendalough Vale Who could run road or track but not trail Starting the Wicklow Way race He sprinted out of the place And ended up with a dnf fail |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2022, 8:08am | Angela's days of being single are done, For her wedding day, it has now come, Lucky Paul, her true love, Who was sent from above, Wish them well as they head to the sun ! Congratulations to IMRA's Angela Flynn and Paul McRedmond who are tying the knot today ! |
| Mick Hanney | May 12 2022, 9:43am | A cross-post with Carrick? To Carrick went 2 bells To race amongst the blue bells Peter was first John fit to burst The younger boyo excels |
| Dave Docherty | May 12 2022, 9:45am | Carrick last night was some run I came down to hills on my bum And with leg 1 still to trot But legs are now shot Don’t expect trophies to come |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2022, 9:59am | Carrick race it was gnarly and hard, We set off from a fine horses yard, Sean managed it well, And we all ran like hell, Peter won, and John's ego was scarred. |
| Graham K. Bushe | May 12 2022, 10:10am | Our Brendan just loves an auld rhyme, Sure he’s tellin’ us all of the time. Here comes his big day, With the words he will play. Some ridiculous, and others sublime. |
| Mikey Fry | May 12 2022, 10:55am | Once dunce he fell in a hole Another one gave him some coal The next went home and made a cup of tea They all enjoyed it with a big pee French fancies to get up the hill Only after mummies favourite pill Chilly peppers in a field they burn Like the old man’s unlucky turn Good day and see you with the lads Where’s those flipping flags… |
| Mikey Fry | May 12 2022, 12:18pm | Pete Matt pat fell flat One two three I hit 5 tree’s Then had to lash Ham went funny Viv not funny Leg 2 gone down the loo |
| Barry McEvoy | May 12 2022, 12:58pm | If Portlaoise City had trails You'd have a few more boys on the rails But we've the sauce and the chippy And a slope that's too slippy We're hammering wood into nails |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2022, 1:33pm | I like an odd Limerick, tis true, But then Graham, I suspect so do you, Your efforts are grand, At the rhymes, a dab hand, And none of your Limericks are blue |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2022, 1:44pm | Mikey Fry , well that man is no fool, Won't be bound by conventional rule, 'Five line Limerick ,my hat, I can do this or that, And finish my Limerick in anyway I like Boom!' |
| Liam Cotter | May 12 2022, 3:46pm | Hickory dickory hill, The runners were out for a thrill, While downwards they scan, light footed they ran, And the bog it was dry, so time to let fly, Racing back down to the IMRA van. |
| Diana Whelan Porter | May 12 2022, 5:09pm | The Wicklow Way relay is coming It should be a good lot of fun(ning) The teams are all set, So we hope it’s not wet As we lace up our shoes and get running |
| Graham K. Bushe | May 12 2022, 5:27pm | So Peter has won Carrick race, It’s posted all over the place. I hope he’s not done, For Saturday’s run, The relay team needs all his pace. |
| Liam Cotter | May 12 2022, 5:47pm | There once was an old shepherd named Sam, Who kept all his sheep in a pram, It was hard going uphill, After his little blue pill, The pram it did tumble and the sheep they did scram. |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 13 2022, 8:11am | A vintage year for National Limerick Day with 19 entries (20 if you count Mikey's double effort).. thank you all ! Until next year ! |
