THE GAME -- Ohio State v. Michigan


We must have that feeling of bliss again,
To beat them once more is our wish again,
You can't move The Game,
For dollars - that's lame,
We must end the season with Michigan!

A Wonderful Bird Is The Pelican

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His mouth will hold more than his belican,
He can hold in his beak,
Enough for a week---
I can't understand how the helican.

And old Celtic runes,
"To Dublin!" for the Irish Fest.

It cannot be found 'round here,
But head to the coast,
And then you can boast,
That you drank the brew without peer.

There was a young man named Bill,
Who drank till he made himself ill,
When a policeman asked why,
He said with a sigh,
It's (hic) dreadful how quickly I fill!

Spring Has Sprung


I hear that spring has sprung,


The bee, its sting, has stung,


The grass is now growing,


The wind, always blowing,


And the birdie, its song has sung.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

No Irish heart will ever part,
For memories ever new,
When the dear old hat, shillalah & pipe,
Come from the land where the Shamrock grew.

Saint Patrick Limerick

That Patrick, he is a great one,
His staff, it's surely a straight one,
He drives out the snakes,
While good Christians he makes,
Of Ireland, he is the patron.



Good Beer & Joe Plank

Good beer always tickled Joe Plank,
One evening two gallons he drank,
Then a stranger nearby,
Remarked with a sigh,
Great Scott! That's no man - that's a tank!

A Titanic Limerick - The (Gaelic Storm) Movie Version

The vessel was truly gigantic,
Gaelic Storm they did play,
On that sad, fateful day,
When it sank in the cold, north Atlantic.

As sweet in his way as a Dove,
One morning he saw,
When he came to the door,
That Glory was sent from above!

Called a hen an elegant creature,
The hen, pleased with that,
Laid an egg in his hat,
And thus did the hen reward Beecher.

So we Americans can spend more,

Go grab your plastic,

Let's do something drastic!

Go buy a GE or Kenmore.

'Though he wasn't a "Michigan Man,"

The new coach came in with a plan,

His name is Rodriguez,

The team does what he says,

But his results should be trashed in the can.

Too bad he can't find his niche,

Screams night and day,

When things don't go his way,

Not beating the Bucks is a bitch.

Who went to a pub for a shandy,
He lifted his kilt,
To see what he spilt,
And the barmaid said - blimey - that's handy!

In high school he did do quite well,


When he got to college,


He was slow to gain knowledge,


But soon, I am sure, he'll excel.

Never leaving the ground,

A reality show we'll see soon.

Found quite a large mouse in his stew,
Said the waiter, "Don't shout!
And wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too."

But his foot, in his mouth, it keeps slidin'.

"Is it harder to toot, or
To tutor two tooters to toot?"

Who said, 'I'm afloat! I'm afloat!'

When they said, 'No! you aint!'

The hats that they wear, they are red,


But in two thousand and nine,


They're not raising their stein,


All the players are hurtin' or dead!

The Green Grass

Sometimes I sit and I ponder,
What's out in the wide world yonder,
Is the grass greener there,

Though we breathe the same air?

Someday soon, just perhaps, I may wander.

Who never had more than a penny;

He spent all that money,

In onions and honey,

That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny.

Was exceedingly fond of white diamonds,
Said, "It's lovely to marry
A man like you Harry,
Who knows how to pick out the fine ones."

The Fisherman - He Tells Of The Fish He Has Caught

He tells of the fish he has caught--
(In truth, they were some that he bought),
For he ne'er had a bite,
From morning till night,
Except at the lunch he had bought!
