| Graham K. Bushe | May 12 2023, 6:41am | Dear Brendan, I just couldn't wait. I'm early,or maybe you're late. So get typing real quick, with your Limericks so sliick, I'm sure they are going to be great. |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2023, 8:16am | Graham Bushe is a talented man He'll write rhymes in the flash of a pan A fine runner as well As best I can tell From all of the races he ran |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2023, 8:46am | Brian Kitson don't worry your head That report that you wrote I have read Its some wonderful prose Keeps us all on our toes After Carrick we thought we were dead |
| Alan Kennedy | May 12 2023, 9:22am | I'm disappointed as I thought this was a thread about Hurling? Anyway here goes my effort: I’m new to IMRA and its class But I keep falling on my ass But you got to get up Get back to the gallop Or just let the faster runners pass |
| Phil behan | May 12 2023, 10:15am | The Howth Race needs more volunteers Laptop will get a few beers You’ll do quite well on First Aid or Marshall, given the raffle may not be exactly impartial. |
| Graham K. Bushe | May 12 2023, 10:48am | Be it hurling or running on hills, Two fine sports filled with thrills and some spills. With a hurl and a ball, or a cartwheeling fall It’s medicine better than pills. |
| Mikey Fry | May 12 2023, 11:04am | He says he’s the law mr bredor …who loves to be over the hurlers door… lets see how many scarrs Wednesday night brings …with prancing and dancing from himself… |
| David Power | May 12 2023, 11:17am | Tis to the forum we go For the race info or a low blow But come Wednesday nights Is it the climb or the descent that bites? Who knows, maybe soon it'll be on GAAGo |
| Rob Tobin | May 12 2023, 12:39pm | Long time listener, first time caller, On Wednesday at Carrick a first time faller, With a profile like Crone, that descent sent me prone, Now I've (S)car(r)s to prove I'm a baller. |
| Maike Jürgens | May 12 2023, 1:49pm | First woman this year to write an IMRA Limerick I hope I wont get any stick We are far and few in between But climb every hill with pride and keen And run down the hill really quick |
| Paul Smyth | May 12 2023, 2:11pm | There was an ol' hill-runner called Bart, Who came down every hill on his arse, That's nothing he'd say, As I passed him one day, Sure I'm faster uphill when I fart! |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2023, 2:11pm | I spoke with my friend Awfully (fully name Awfully Intelligent) at Chat GBT and while not an IMRA member he/she asked me to post the following entry on his/her behalf.... There once was a model named Chat, Whose limericks were quite tit-for-tat, With words at the ready, And rhymes ever steady, Chat GBT's limericks never fell flat |
| Dave Docherty | May 12 2023, 2:20pm | There once was a runner named Mikey Fry, Whose love for mountain running reached the sky. He'd sprint up steep hills, With thrilling thrills, But full stops? Oh my, what a surprise! |
| Maike Jürgens | May 12 2023, 2:32pm | Completed 200 IMRA races In lots and various places Special spot prize you tell us Only for Mike - don't be jealous Looking for photos of all the faces |
| Mikey Fry | May 12 2023, 2:46pm | Once your in is it a sin surly Dave’s is the best better then all the rest… |
| Brian Kitson | May 12 2023, 4:57pm | A Friday @ 4:57pm limerick: A good limerick is hard to write, Timing and rhyming’s got to be right, After a brilliant start Mine oft fall apart And the ending just doesn’t… Pints. |
| Conor Nolan | May 12 2023, 7:22pm | There once was a runner named Brian Whose tales were always inspirin' But when penning his prose He would often suppose That writing, not running, was more tirin' |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 12 2023, 7:35pm | I had this late unsigned entry left under the door of my office this evening… ‘Poor Dillon and Joan they were late They must have go stuck at a gate To get over their horrors They told of their sorrows It must have been an expensive aul date !’ |
| Rob Tobin | May 12 2023, 11:34pm | The Wicklow Way Relay is tickety-boo It has eight long legs but is run on two Thirty-five teams will soon toe the line To run thro' hills, lanes, heath and pine. Will parking and wrong turns cause hullabaloo? |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 13 2023, 8:01am | This years entries were good, it is true And only Paul Smyth’s one was blue So well done to you all Everyone had a ball And raised a few laughs at that too! Thanks everyone who sent in a Limerick and to Graham for kicking the day off. Paul’s entry wins this years prize and see you all again for National Limerick Day 2024 ! |
| Alan Ayling | May 15 2023, 6:37pm | Better late than never I suppose... There once was an IMRA committee Who met to discus matters shitty. National Parks and permissions, Vouchers, terms and conditions - And Stuart's iron grip on the kitty ;-) |
