The First Galaxy Limerick of 2008, Dedicated to Missed Opportunity

By: Laurie | April 10th, 2008

After watching the Galaxy-San Jose game, I have been inspired to write my first Galaxy limerick of 2008.

No, don’t thank me. It’s what I do.

The Limerick Dedicated
to Alan Gordon’s Wayward Laces

The Galaxy send the ball through
And the players all know what to do
The HDC rocks
’cause the ball’s in the box
But Gordon is tying his shoe

  Oh boy! That’s brilliant!!! Oh my! You just got some big belly laughs outta me.

  As long as he’s subbed out at about 65 minutes then I think we’ll be okay.

  A UK friend, whom i took to the game, come up with the following. Might need some work, but you get the idea:
  Ode to Alan
  Gordon shoots and he misses, aw shucks
  Runs away from the ball, then he clucks
  No technique, wirey frame
  Ties his shoelace all game
  That’s why D.Beckham earns the big bucks!

  Laurie:

  You’ve inspired me to try my first-ever limerick

  Beckham taps the ball into space
  As Donovan sprints on apace
  Past a back (standing still?)
  To a great chip that will
  Leave Cannon with egg on his face

  Bravo, Dick!!

  We should all work to capture this season in limerick form.

  Then let me venture another:

  Beckham’s goal was a nice one, I’d say
  Defenders beware if you stray
  You err at your peril
  With Landon (that devil)
  And Beckham to put it away

  I wish these rhymes werent about San Jose
  That game was the worst I must say
  Tomorrow We’ll try
  To kiss Thursday goodbye
  And win one at home in the Yay

  (from the top of my head, not the greatest I know)
