UConn Limericks

[huskyd]

I love limericks. The best ones, however, are too saucy for these pages. But here are a few with Husky themes. Got any of your own?

There was a young man from Philly
Who thought girls' basketball silly.
Then he went to CT
Hooked up with CD
And they turned out a positive dilly.

To the rest of the nation's chagrin
UConn's Huskies continue to win.
The Coach said they'd lose
Something which they refuse
And simply will not give in.

There was an old coach with good hair
Sharp-tongued with an unnerving glare.
His team was worked hard
Left battered and scarred
But that's how he showed that he cared.

Alas, all of the Nantucket goodies must remain censored.

@alexrgct & @Zorro this was pretty good but should you want to pursue " infringement" of your designated & clearly established roles here on the BY, I know some people!

What about the one with the man from Calcutta? Is that one OK?

 

[Gus Mahler]

Here's a clean one:

There once was a guard from Nantucket
Who simply could not buy a bucket.
She switched up her hand
Now from three-point land
O’Brien can say that “She stuck it.”

There is this young girl named Lou
Whose star shines brightly in year two
She shoots from a mile
With this contagious smile
and lead them to a championship too

Posted earlier on "The Streak redux"

A team that was not from Nantucket
Of greatness most thought they would duck it
But to our surprise
They all reached for the skies
Set their goal on the streak
Then they struck it

 

[BroadwayVa]

There was a young girl from Cape Cod

Whom some coaches thought odd

Decided to play basketball in a state known

for Dodd

It turned her head towards National from local

By no means is this lass a Yokel

If you haven’t seen this lass by Golly

You’ve miss the best of Our Molly.

There is a team on a crazy long streak
It's gone on for hundreds of weeks
With a staff pushing defend
Fans and team not wanting it to end
This is not for the mild or meek

Love it ...... quite accurate!

 

[pinotbear]

to liberally paraphrase one from my misspent youth;

There once was an old coach named Bruno
Who said "hoops is one thing I do know!"
The Gamecocks are fine
And the Bears are divine,
But the Huskies are Numero Uno!

Kib time to chime in with some of your ole time great limmericks.

 

[Zorro]

I am pleased and astonished! Most of the above actually scan, or almost, with only a little squeezing required here and there. Generally, when limericks are posted on the BY, I am reminded of the young man from Japan, whose limericks never would scan. When the people asked why, he could only reply; "Well, I am not really sure but I think it may be because I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can."

Roses are red, UCONN is blue
It's easy to cheer for Geno's crew
They have won ninety twice
Without Boneyarders' advice
Watch them win at a gym near you

 

[Huskee11]

There once was a soph from out West
Whose three ball was known to be best
But Geno said MORE!
Show me new ways to score!
She obliged and now tweaks ear in jest.

There once was a star from Mizzou
Who joined with her buddy named Lou
To rebound and shoot
And then let out a hoot
As they roll seeking challenges new.

There once was a junior from Canada
OK I admit I`m a fanada
Her three ball now works
And on defense she lurks
Our expert at man-a to man-ada!

There once was a leaper from Sparks
She`s our L.T.! Geno barks
A rebound, a steal,
A block, highlight reel!
As the Boneyard gives only high marks.

There was a young lass from Nantucket
who had a real nose for the bucket
CD saw a tattoo
a flag red, white, and blue
so they put on a bandage and snuck it.

I have created a monster! Get out the pitchforks and torches.
