Chess Limericks

[Simon Brown]

The matter was settled up-thread
Where the Gaelic experts have said
That it's not 'lim-er-ick'
Instead 'lim-rick' you pick
So your first line won't scan, prop'ly read

Nice, point taken. No need to change the original!

Prof. Robertson, always pedantic
Cantankerous, finicky, antic
Mis-scanning Lim'rick,
Too quick on the click
There's ne'er been a crime more gigantic

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce
Found his Premier win was quite nice.
But at St James's Park
They're now in the dark
Relegation the ultimate price.

[John McKenna]

There was an old Junker in Brussels
Who relished cross-border tussles.
To prove Russia wrong
He commissioned a song
That caused a lot of kerfuffles.

One for the road (to ruin) -

It's said there's a must-see movie
That some find sexy and groovy.
Full of stern bears
And illicit affairs,
With anti-hero Dr. M. Burry.
