Some septic tanks from Notre Dame,
Are all coming here for a game,
And yet nobody knows,
The name of their foes,
Which I think is rather a shame.

Unless you can do better (with the same subject)?

Oh yes, it’s a Thursday ‘Rick Off.

A prize [we are currently sourcing] for the limerick judged ‘finest’.

Update:

The winner

The yanks are back in the auld sod
To play their football so odd
But while they’re all cheering
The locals are sneering
Cos Céad Míle Fáilte’s a fraud.

Runner Up

Though not fans of the Yanks on the whole,
This old nonsense has tickled the soul.
They’ve caught “football” fever,
And they’ll pack the Aviva,
Yet they wonder, “Who the hell is in goal?”

The Old Boy

 

Honourable mention

Once again, it’s the great Gary Flood,
Drawing more winning limerick blood,
They appeal to the masses,
Except for the asses,
Whom he brings down to earth with a thud…

Specifically, do you like lovingly-made craft beer from around the world?

We have two tickets to the Secret Garden Beer Festival on September 15 in Dundrum Town Centre, Co Dublin, sponsored by Deveney’s Off Licence to giveaway.

To enter?

Boozy poets, come lend me your ear,
The rules to this contest are clear,
Write the best rhyme,
And in almost no time,
You’ll be knocking back pitchers of beer.

Oh yes, it’s a ‘Rick-Off.

The Secret Beer Garden Festival

4.02pm UPDATE:

Winner

My rhyme’s good, but I hope you don’t pick it
No way am I using that ticket
I’d only get plastered
And act like a b*stard
Keep your prize, you know where to stick it.

Jim Computer

Second winner

A craft beer there was to be had,
In a garden so wonderfully mad,
The secret is easy,
Mass beers makes you queasy,
While craft beer will make you feel glad

Runner-up

Now some people find it quite rum
But to me its a pain in the bum
To wait for a year
For a festival of beer
Only to find its in f***ing Dundrum

Thanks all.
