More silliness - limericks

I thought it was time to inject a little more silliness (not of the trade variety) into BE, so I'm calling for limericks about the Blazers (or BE regulars). I realize that "clean limerick" is an oxymoron, but remember where you are posting and try to keep them family friendly... I'll start it off:

There once was a small Frye named Channing,
The low post was effectively manning,
But he ran into Greg,
Got a lump like an egg
And dropped b-ball for Competitive Tanning.

 

Carry on!

Edited because I never looked at it after it was posted and realized the format was ...well, lacking.

I only know 1 limmerick

and it’s about science

"It was halfway through the fourth quarter of an exhibition game, a 30 point blowout, and I absolutely did not want it to end. Time: move slower so this moment stretches.

Dunk Parade.

Forever."

-Ben

"...our second unit is probably going to be a little better than your second unit…and by "probably going to be a little better than" I mean "is going to crush like a dump truck running over an empty beer can""

there once was a kid

from Zona
who won MVP in the summa
His scowl it was fierce
and his eyes they would pierce
now hes riding the pine like a Jonah

Zona = University of Arizona
Summa = I do rhyme good, me make up word
Johna = noun: a person believed to bring bad luck to those around him

I don’t like to hurt people, but my roundhouse is legendary

whats the bad luck thing all about?

There once was this Bedger
ID C.I.C
Who poeticized unwanted rumor
unwarranted hearsay nefarious slander
he hoped’ grow like a jail blazer tumor
but needless it was cuz our trust in KP
dispelled any such notion
Rip City ’s the red to the blacks
exhaustless current emotion
And never ever again will we hear CTC

I'll always cherish the original misconception I had of you.

Not at all...

I am the biggest Bayless fan on this site… trust me, read my other posts. He does not bring bad luck at all… It’s more along the lines of I haven’t written a limerick in 15 years, can’t rhyme and yet still wanted to participate… he has gotten a bad rap lately, has not played well in the preseason and is now the 3rd string PG…. and… he will also be great in time.

A BEdger named CatMan2
Tried to write a good verse just for you
But he ran out of time
Trying to find the right rhyme
With the result that it was one of his worst posts ever, and that’s saying a lot!

Palin drone: a statement that is equally nonsensical whether uttered or written forward or backward.

PTB has a Man in the middle
Some say not as fit as a fiddle
We think he’ll be quick
But he may not like Quick
Which makes this a bit of a riddle

"You're really making me feel good about myself, little man," says Oden as he starts dancing after scoring a goal. "You better come harder than that."

Expectations were high as a kite

These Blazers would put up a fight
New faces galore
and never a bore

And when K*be & Co. fall on their (bleeps)…and Nash shows his age… and CP3 remembers he is just a kid… and Baron Davis starts partying with his old buddies in Compton…and Parker’s housewife becomes desperate… and Nowitski and Haslehoff start hanging out too much… and Iverson and Melo… well never-mind they are already messed up enough already… and… and…and when the Blazers figure out that nobody can stop them and that they are the deepest team in the NBA and that they have 9 players who could start and the best young center in the NBA and the most underrated captain in the league and a guy from Spain that impregnates women with his mind…and… and…
A CHAMPIONSHIP it is in sight.

It's not a limeric, but it was fun to write!

Rip City Portland Oregon USA
The former Jail Blazers of the NBA
Roy to Rudy for the alley oop
Shonely yells rip city with another hoop
Barret and Rice extraordinary announcers
Always got their eyes on those Blazer Dancers
Yo Shaq drop that turkey leg
And pass the torch to our main man Greg.
Larry O’Brien we’re going to get your prize
The whole state of Oregon loves these guys!

The pictures kinda small, but Im giving the C's a big thumbs down

by Blazermaniac77 on Oct 20, 2008 7:23 PM PDT   0 recs

ok...here is the expanded version

There once was a town by the river

with 3 big ballers who make everyone shiver

guys would bite on the fake

and die on the break and
 
lay on the floor and just quiver

They then added Rudy

and a Rook named Rex

Now the white unit has some flex

And game is now soo Batum-y

"Fez, the foundation of any good relationship is three little words: I-don't-know.

What're you doing? I don't know.

What're you thinking about? I don't know.

Sweet

Hickory Dickory Dock,
Greg Oden went up for a block.
The shot clock went “buzz,”
Roy said, “Good block cuz.”

Our bench is so stacked, you can see.
Can Nate get them all some PT?
Well, it’s tougher than that,
And they’re all getting fat,
‘Cause we’re beating their 5 with just 3.

There once was a guard from Spain,
Who in August gained worldwide fame.
He goes by the name of Rudy
And dunking is his duty;
In the Garden he’ll make it rain.

by DrivetheLane on Oct 21, 2008 8:28 AM PDT   0 recs

I'm not really good at limericks, but I try Haikus instead (though Darkstar and St. Bayno are the masters of that art form)

The dunks are falling
Like leaves in the autumn sun
In the Rose Garden

So much symmetry
A thing of stunning beauty
Greg’s two-handed block

There he flies again
Catching the rock in mid-air
Spanish Helicopter

Dripping to the floor
A steady stream of defeat
The tears of Kobe

boooo - no intellectual hijacking allowed!

There was a Norwegian called Norsktroll
Who thought BE readers he would poll
Limericks or Haiku?
I’ll leave it to you
To decide which of these makes the bells toll.

Carved out tough shots with lasers
And brought fans an incredible joy.

who wrote articles with his Bic

World, meet young Nic Batum,
But was his number called too soon?
He’s a diamond in the rough,
But can he score enough?
I feel we’ll get the answer real soon.

When asked about his thoughts during the Olympic games about playing against Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, Rudy responded "My first thought was respect. My second thought was to kick their ass".

Man I love him.

And how it dashed all the plans that we made.
But you’ll forget all about it,

There once was a point guard named Damon
As a rookie, so hot he was flamin’
But since fire makes smoke
He inhaled as he toked
His potential he ended up shamin’

But…..

After a year of riding the pine
With Mo Cheeks along for the ride
Young Damon wised up
Like a freethrow to the cup
He walked off the court with some pride

And….

Now Damon’s career is in doubt
With a team that has lost some of its clout
The Spurs have declined
And Damon’s in a bind
Because he sees his time running out
Because

Clearing Room For The Blazers Out West

As the playoff picture begins to take shape it becomes clear that the Western Conference is one big game of musical chairs. There are nine viable playoff teams; unfortunately there are only eight playoff spots. For the Blazers to get a spot, one of last year's playoff teams needs to fall off. Someone's going to be caught standing when the music stops. The following are possible scenarios that could derail each team on their quest for playoff glory, helping the Blazers get back to the postseason for the first time since 2003.
