Sporty Limerick

Once again, it’s Limerick-Off time. And that means I write a limerick, and you write your own, using the same first line. Then you post your limerick here and, if you’re a Facebook user, on Facebook too.

So I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line:

A sports-loving fellow named Lee…

Here’s mine:

Sporty Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A sports-loving fellow named Lee
Had a very bad elbow and knee,
Which he blamed on a fall
Suffered playing pro ball,
But he only knew sports from TV.

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Facebook Limerick-Off post.

To receive an email alert whenever I post a new Limerick-Off, please send me an email requesting the alerts. You’ll find my email address on the upper right sidebar, in the “Author” section just below my Limerick-Offs button. Thanks!

  1. A sports loving fellow named Lee
    Only watched stuff beginning with C
    So cricket was fine,
    And cycling divine,
    Cheerleading? I’ll try it and see!

    Got hit so hard he couldn’t see.
    Yeah, he had his falls
    Even took it in the balls.
    Now, without a prosthesis, he can’t pee.

  3. scott says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee,
    saw more than he wanted to see.
    Brett Favre with no clothes,
    Rex Ryan’s wife’s toes,
    and Cam’s dad wanting one-eighty Gs.

  4. Patrick says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    Was waiting in line at the tee
    when from out of the blue
    came the words ‘Stop! Hey! You!’
    Twas the groundskeeper wanting his fee.

  5. Laurie Kolp says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    Went berserk like a crazy monkey;
    Red-flagging each play,
    Calling outs on game day,
    ‘Twas the life of an ump wannabe.

  6. jesse levy says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    used to put both his balls on a tee.
    He swung very hard
    but they didn’t go far
    being attached to the base of his club, you see.

  7. Libby says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee,
    sought tix for all games he could see.
    But when games were too far
    to drive to by car,
    he watched on his bigscreen tv.

  8. Libby says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee,
    bet a horse with the name of Seabee.
    When his nag lost the race
    he got red in the face
    and beat up the losing jockey.

    I’m enjoying these limericks. Thanks! And please keep them coming!

    A sports loving fellow named Lee
    Sits out glooms poor me
    if only i did wait
    before kicking the gate
    should’ve kicked the wife for leaving me

  11. tracie says:

    A young wild trotting kitty
    Delights in a frenzied witty
    wish you’d take a break
    the baby may wake
    You are incredibly hyper for being so bitty

    free cat to good home

  12. Dr. Goose says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    Likes to watch every game on TV;
    He begins when, at dawn,
    English football comes on,
    And keeps watching ’til “Sumo at 3.”

  13. A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    Left his sofa to go take a pee
    On the way back
    He stocked up on snacks
    The cycle repeats endlessly.

  14. SA Lawrence says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    Love to show off ambidextrously
    He would start with his left
    Then switch to his right
    He was really quite good with the kite

  15. Lynny says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    bought Knicks tickets for a small fee
    He realized they stunk
    and fell into a funk
    so he changed his love to MTV

  16. Bobby Clark says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee
    Wanted to be part of the tea party
    He twittered Ms. Palin
    Who was busy wailing
    About Obama still ruining the country.

  17. madkane says:

    These are delightful limericks! Thanks. I’m looking forward to even more. :)

  18. A sports loving fellow named Lee
    capered about shouting Yippee.
    He’d scored a goal,
    whizzed straight in the hole –
    a hat trick, for that made it three.

  19. Swisstoons says:

    A sports-loving fellow named Lee,
    Sedentary spectator was he.
    Sacks of snacks of all sorts,
    Plenty beer, pints and quarts
    Sat in racks right beside his TV!

  20. madkane says:

    Thanks for your limericks Swisstoons and vivienne!

  21. Gary Bieber says:

    Liked your sports-loving fan whose named Lee,
    But alas there’s no talent in me.
    I worked very hard
    To find I’m no bard.
    No more lim’ricks for G.W.B.

  22. madkane says:

    Gary, that limerick isn’t bad at all. I hope to see more verse from you. :)
