Credit to johnzo for starting up poet's corner and TLB for the inspiration. I doubt that this thread will get as much mileage as the Haiku piece, but what the hell.

 

There was a wee kicker named Lirim

Whose team mates would not get too near him

They thought it bad luck

‘Cause the goalposts he'd struck

It was always a guess if he’d clear ‘em

Mike O'Shea was a 'backer,

To some, a special teams hacker,

But a gamble on 3rd and 15,

Was foreseen,

And was a Bomber back-cracker.

 

There once was a coach name LaPo

Whos 2 and out offence was Crappo

When the games on the line

He goes 3 yards for 9

And puts you to sleep for a night Cap-O

 

The Bombers and Lions..

It was close to the end..

But then our hero Matt cost us again..

But really it was our OC 

But more like No see. 

Our O was on fire..

And then it was not..

Our playcalling was crappy

2 and outs all we got .. 

But  we had a chance to tie...

And The Lapo Special did appear..

4 and 5 yard passes... 

Shove it up your rear!!

But Medlock for the tie..

Its good its good..

Its.. Lands at the 5? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

got to be the only sports forum in the world where fans write poems after a loss

No TV connection at cottage

a victim of very bad wattage

what made it most poor

was Listening to Kelly Moore

Would rather be arrested for frottage

There was a kicker named Medlock

Who thought he had the powers of a warlock

Like making the ball stick to the back of a players helmet

When he wasn't looking

Just what the hell was he thinking?

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

**** sakes please just win a Grey Cup.

Im making a rhyme

Going along with this thread

Ive got nothing but time

And a serious beer buzz in my head

Medlock oh Medlock

What was you thinking dear Medlock?

A passer you're not but you gave it a shot

Best stick to your craft dear Medlock.

If this were the Stamps

The horse would be named

Woe is me 

It was the least common denominator of football

The skeleton requirements of first downs and touchdowns

A Riders' loss

This weekend was shot from the get-go
Carmichael running to and fro,
A Bomber loss,
from a Medlock toss,
Mike O'Shea should've just said "NO!"

The Head Coach says they'll look at film & make adjustments

We all know the adjustments will be in small increments

Our OC suddenly became afraid to pass

Making Bomber fans grab their stomachs & pass their gas.

Damn, this is some seriously old school poeming.

A stubborn old coach named O'Shea,

Figured his kicker was Okay.

Medlock was ready,

His aim was real steady.

But his kick couldn't go the damn whole way.

Concerned that the magic is waning

Was ready for massive complaining

Justin looked like a sinner

But the short kick's a winner

Judge him tonight? I'm abstaining.

Most fans left to beat the traffic,
Another loss thanks to thick Nik,
But thirteen points in a minute,
Left the Bombers to win it,
All thanks to an onside kick

there once was a poet named peter

who had a way with meter

other fans tried

but their poems did not fly

cause peter's meter was sweeter!

Storm clouds are brewing with treason

Trouble in the Hammer, the reason

Practice fights n' losses

Means changes by the bosses

Autumn with June? Firing season!

 

 

Coaches of the league were fishin'
Free first downs off PI calls, their mission,
A new commish named Randy,
Claimed delays weren't dandy,
One challenge means less repetition

 

There once was an Old Bomber Fan

Thought the coach was a smirking con man

Found an ally in Weicek

Who wanted Mike O'Shea's paycheque

But all he got was Lapo's game plan

 

 

 

It was a tough loss in T.O.

An ice pack rested on Frito

Trestman looked grim

No problem said Jim 

Let's just call up our buddy Calvillo

A receiver from the west I am,

My career was to be a grand slam,

Drafted eleventh overall,

During a Bomber overhaul,

From Regina Ram to retired lamb
