haiku + O'bama = Charlton Limerick competition
A number of people from the poetry clique have been asking me to run a limerick competition. It must be original and about Charlton.
Our defence last season was the worst
Our keeper with injuries was cursed
We were so slow at the back
Although in height we didn't lack
That we haven't yet been linked with D. Pursed

There was a young man named Chris Powell
Whose start to his job was most foul
He seemed quite unable
To move up the table
Much to the joy of some moaning, negative, short-sighted posters on Charlton Life.
OK it needs a bit of work....

Yeah but way better than mine.

Well perhaps the D. Pursed bit could do with a literary massage? ;-)
A brave thread to start though Cords, well done!

A manager of Charlton named Chris
Thought being a boss was a piece of piss
It was no match made in heaven
With one win in the last seven
and strikers that constantly miss!
Not really only joking!

There was a great striker called Hunt
As we all know he played up front
He scored with great ease
retired to Belize
....actually I best stop there.

Semedo was loved by this fan
A trier, he worked and he ran
Technically gifted
The crowd they were lifted
So up yours you prat Bexley Dan

"Charlton forever" all day i will sing
As following Charlton is a glorious thing
Be it as premiership fighters
Or down in the Blue Square
My deep love for Charlton will always be there.

There once was a team named Athletic
Well known for their passing aesthetic
Welsh, Bartram and Duffy
Won nil in the cuppy
Now that's what i would call poetic!0 -
Some excellent Limericks there, I will have to go some if I am to retain the trophy (which is several tins of heineken - shaped like little barrels - which somebody left behind, not doubt knowing that one day it would make a fine prize in a limerick comp).
Incidentally scidders, much as we on CL want to encourage the CL youth, technically the 1st ,2nd and 5th line should rhyme with each other as should the 3rd and 4th.

The Charlton board a new manager anoints
Cos once he played with supple joints
Now teams that play there
Have never a care
Cos they always depart with three points!
Huzzah!

I think that paulcafc is currently winning. But months to go before a final decision.0

Our new owners got us out of jail
With their millions we just couldn't fail
But the joy was just fleeting
In Bromley for a meeting
Chris says we've got no more than Rochdale

Some thought that we'd win it with ease
League 1 would be such a breeze
But with Alan McCormack
And Francis at the back
The player's we picked up on Free's
The fan's had all had enough
So the new board got all tough
Parky got the sack
Chrissy came back
But even his start was rough
This summer he'll build a new team
and promotion is what we will dream
Have faith in the man
and support his plan
and a trophy for us might just gleam
so will we go up? who knows
what players will join and who goes
win, lose or draw
whatever the score
i'll be there till i turn up my toes

Simon Francis only gets picked at all
Because Solly is so bloody small
He plays at right back
Can't defend or attack
He should just f off back to Roots Hall

Ubby, Tangy and LA. Quality, brings a tear to my eye. I think at the moment its between Tangy's last one and LA's.
Do you think the person who knocked up the CL badge get us a cheap printing deal so that we can publish our works?

A new boy to this Forum week three
I dared to question Parky
Get over yourselves I said
The reply was 'Who is this Deadred'?
Were Chirpy and Curb It onto me?
My anonimity I have retained
But Henry was deeply pained
'We've moved on' now he pleaded
'So please dont mention Parky's name'
I said no problem I'll try and refrain
I then traded it with Bexley Dan
He claimed 'I'm better than Semedo I am'
I said No No
you weren't a pro
Cut your losses whilst you can
He just couldn't shut it
Started picking on Leroy and Off it
Stop digging I said
'Get lost Deadred, this is my thread'
BD was beyond help and full of Bull Sh*t
An apology has since been tendered
Relationships hopefully mended
As good as a pro?
We'll never know
But a lost cause should never be defended

By Gillingham fans we are hated,
Our coaches make them frustrated,
Fans from Kent,
Went to see Darren Bent,
So all of this fuss was created.

McCormack was quick off the blocks
To tweet on Twitter a load of boll-ocks
That in just over an hour
He'd take his wife up the Tower
But even she says he's crap in the box

Such quality. If Melvyn Bragg was reading we would be featured on the South Bank Show. Three good new entries but at the moment LAs last is winning. It has everything, it scans well, mentions a current footballer, has sexual innuendo, uses poetic license (boll-ocks) and most importantly refers to a (in)famous past incident beloved of all true badge carrying lifers (the McOxo incident).0

Very, very good. Uboat for me so far. Hilarious.

No badge for me then Cordoban so I suppose elevation to the CLIQUE is completely out of the question! Oh well it's early days.

Deadred, you will note that I have given lavish praise to all and i was going to comment that you are way out if front in the sequential limericks that tell a story/relate a personal journey. But I was trying to, shall we say, keep my powder dry, for a bit longer on that.
Apologies if you haven't got a badge yet, I am quite surprised as they do seem to be handing them out to just anybody these days. As regards to Cliques, you are very definetly in the poetry clique (subsections haiku and limerick).
I, myself, am trying to get this discussion up to 100 comments where upon I will be awarded the coveted silver lifers badge. But then you will know doubt know all about that.

A clever young Chairman called Slater
Studied all of the Charlton match data
Then went in disguise
To see Dennis Wise
And beg him to take over later0 -
Favorablemente bastante Cordoba. I'll try again.
We shuffled through the weeds of the valley of old.
In the blistering heat and the shivering cold
Then in nineteen ninety two
Thanks to the work of a few
Floyd Road was brought back into the fold.

@ Cordoban Addick.
Incidentally scidders, much as we on CL want to encourage the CL youth,
technically the 1st ,2nd and 5th line should rhyme with each other as
should the 3rd and 4th.
Excuse me while i pick my arse up off the floor.

Are you under 50? If so you are CL youth. By the way excellent 2nd Limerick, shows you have a mature head on your young shoulders!If you are over 50 and you have major saggy arse problems, you do know that their a lot of things from surgical trusses to manzires that can help. I would post a website but admin don't like advertising links.
