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

johnzo's a bit of a pill

pigskin poetry gives him a thrill

first I felt like a dink

now we're all spreading ink

somebody pass me my quill
