Christmas limericks with a cricket theme

By Will 2 years ago, mid-December Leave a comment on this post

I know it’s not yet Christmas but quite honestly I’m already in the spirit. I went shopping today which, somehow, was a success. I bought things and even resisted the temptation to buy needlessly expensive things for myself which a) I don’t really want b) don’t need and c) will never use beyond next week. Success…apart from the dolled-up Sloany mothers ramming their designer pushchairs into my ankles. I tend to react quite strongly when that happens, especially when they refuse to apologise. See? Christmas spirit alive and kicking in Will’s world.

So it’s time for another Christmas limerick. It should ideally be funny and clever and have a cricket theme interwoven. Go on, have a go. If you can’t work cricket into it, no matter. Here’s your starting line

It’s Christmas two thousand and six…

See last years and tips on what the boggins a limerick is and how it works.

    There once was a cricket fan called Will
    Who thought Xmas shopping was for dills.
    Other shoppers refused to apoligise
    So Will said “They must die”
    So now Will is talking to the Old Bill.

    it’s Christmas Two Thousand and Six
    and Duncan is in quite a fix
    for the old King of Spain
    is showing the pain
    and “Monty!” they’re calling he picks

    I don’t think they still do the Christmas fancy dress party, but:

    It’s Christmas Two Thousand and Six
    at the party, they’re starting to mix
    ’til a blonde in a dress
    gets Shane’s SMS
    it’s Freddie dressed as Stevie Nicks

    It’s Christmas Two Thousand and Six,
    The Pommies are playing like dicks,
    They’re trailing two nil,
    To the disgust of young Will,
    The Aussies are back in the mix!

    =========

    It’s Christmas Two Thousand and Six,
    They’ve problems that Flintoff can’t fix,
    Downunder we hope,
    The Pommies can’t cope,
    With Warney and all of his tricks.

    Merry Christmas everyone…

    It’s Christmas Two Thousand and Six,
    The Poms can’t knock over the sticks,
    Their batsmen get out,
    Fred’s ankle’s a doubt,
    and Duncan ain’t right with his picks.

    It’s Christmas Two Thousand and Six,
    we’re battling with the convicts,
    but we’re under the thumb,
    and the time has now come,
    for Duncan to find a quick fix!

    It’s Christmas Two Thousand and Six,
    Warne’s still got his big back of tricks,
    but his hair is receding,
    despite the re-seeding,
    reducing his luck with the chicks!

    Its Christmas two thousand and six,
    A debacle the poms wont fix,
    Let Fletch and Freddie bicker,
    The team still wont offer a flicker,
    ‘Cause theyre all a bunch of dicks.

    It’s Christmas 2006
    And the upper hand has to be Dick’s.
    But regardless of flack,
    And the form that they lack,
    At least England aren’t arrogant pricks!

    It’s Christmas 2006
    at the Oval they’re sensing a fix
    as back at the square
    arrives Darrell Hair
    saying “I only popped out for a twix”

    It’s Christmas two thousand and six,
    and Gilo is back in the mix,
    it’s a very bold move,
    Duncan’s trying to prove,
    you can teach an old dog new tricks…

    It’s Christmas two thousand and six,
    and young Will is back up to his tricks,
    of asking the tribe,
    to think hard and scribe,
    these silly festive limericks!

    That’s it, my brain hurts :)

    It’s Christmas 2006,
    We’re in a bit of a fix,
    At the mercy of Warne,
    without Cooper’s horn,
    Bucknor hearing imaginary snicks!

    Flintoff’s Christmas wish-list, it is fat -
    Darryl Hair, a new leg, a prayer mat …
    Locust plagues, not to mention
    Divine intervention
    And Geoff Boycott put back in to bat!

    Just like Christmas, a lot of the joy of love is found in the giving.
