Brendan LawlorMay 9 2024, 9:23amAdvance notice…Sunday is National Limerick Day

National Limerick Days coming up fast
When our poets and our bards have a blast
So get writing those rhymes
About these modern times
Or even a blast from the past !!
Graham K. BusheMay 9 2024, 10:02amDear auld Brendan, you are jumpin the gun,
And I know youre just havin some fun
But alas, you must wait
For tis not the date
When we all get to rhyme or to pun

;)
Alan KennedyMay 9 2024, 10:35amThe thoughts of the Summer League has me Drooling
But IMRA keeps harping bout Car-Pooling
So I’m thinking of getting a bike
Or I might even get a trike
So hopefully that is the end of the Trolling
Mikey FryMay 9 2024, 7:56pmIf you like limericks from Imra brendo
You’ll surely fall over your pull over
When your out cutting grass
Running up the loafs ass
The Bushe man can be found hugging the ground nice and round
Eating sweets with the bees
Following the breeze eating cheese with mr McGees…
Brendan LawlorMay 12 2024, 8:58amMikey Fry , report writer of fame,
But punctuation he won’t do, to his shame,
‘Standard Limericks’ says he,
‘You will not get from me’
But we love his aul rhymes all the same..
Alice ClancyMay 12 2024, 10:08amHe’s a formidable sh*t stirrer is Lawlor,
Almost as good as I am a faller,
His posts stir up high dudgeon,
Which makes him a bit of a curmudgeon?
A Cheshire Cat-like cerveza-drinking forum-mauler!
Niall CorriganMay 12 2024, 10:22amI feel like I'm running through treacle,
This weight belt they gave me 's inimical,
It weighs on my soul,
But I dug my own hole,
Next race? Multi occupant vehicle.
Mikey FryMay 12 2024, 2:18pmLawlor Bushe Ayling are well
But don’t you get such a big stinky smell
Steep to rocks slipping down
No wonder why there pants are brown
Leave it now and have some scones
Sleeping on my old bones…
Paul McRedmondMay 12 2024, 8:32pmTwo years ago today
Right in the middle of May
I had a big win,
Got hitched to A Flynn
And with her I’m happy to stay
David PowerMay 12 2024, 8:32pmThere once was a forum,
where often there was decorum,
but at times blustery winds,
flush through us mountainous friends,
until peace reigns, once again in the glens.
Brendan LawlorMay 12 2024, 8:45pmCarpooling’s all the rage nowadays
Save the planet, so Louis Mullee says
New friends from the blue
And you’ll save money too
Just remember it’s the passenger pays
Graham K. BusheMay 12 2024, 10:55pmMy Sunday's a day for the hills
Not keyboard or parchment and quills.
But as day turns to night
I suppose I could write,
A few words to give Brendan his thrills.
Brian KitsonMay 12 2024, 10:55pmFor Liam there’s no problem a barrier,
Til he discovered the poor aulde Hen Harrier,
National Parks would complain,
“On the ground she be layin’ “
“Shur feck it”, said Liam, “I’ll just carry her”.
Andreas KuschMay 12 2024, 11:24pmOn Wednesday, we’ll race in Kilmac
The winds are gonna be slack
Graham has picked a new course
Let’s hope we’re avoiding the gorse
It should be a good bit of craic
Jason KehoeMay 12 2024, 11:34pmFAIR WARNING:

In Wicklow, a relay race was arranged,
Through valleys and hills, it was staged.
But on Leg 6 beware,
Avoid wrong turns if you dare,
Or rule 7's wrath will be engaged.

;P
Brendan LawlorMay 13 2024, 9:01amWell done all

Brian Kitson takes this years gong for his very topical entry.. til next year !
Olwyn SheehanMay 13 2024, 11:04amUnfortunately my entry is a day late! Well done Brian

Mountain running is my new hobby,
I enjoy getting my feet nice and soggy,
The trails clear the mind,
Everyone is so kind,
Except sometimes in the forum online!
Turlough ConwayMay 14 2024, 12:36pmIn vest and shorts ran the young buck,
Carry the gear? Did he f**k!
Was assured he'd be spied,
For not observing the guide,
And out of the race he was struck!
Brendan LawlorMay 14 2024, 2:03pmTurlough C joined the party quiet late
With strong language that some people hate
But his message rings true
So his entry will do
Next year keep an eye on the date !

Thanks Turlough!
Olwyn SheehanMay 14 2024, 10:17pmAlso wanted to add some shameless promotion for the new Church Mountain race:

Did you hear the news from West Wickla,
Liam Mooney has a race to treat ya,
If you'd like your cares to dissolve,
And your sins to be absolved,
Church Mountain is the race to commit to!
Rob TobinMay 15 2024, 12:31amFrom the roadside at Toor
It holds a certain allure
Tis a fine auld ben
Down in Hollywood Glen
But be warned, this Church is a #oor.
