2006 Packers in Limerick Form
For about a dozen seasons I've been sending out weather
forecasts for on-line Packer fans. I usually include a
remark, sometimes insightful, sometimes witty, sometimes just
plain wrong, about what I expect from each game. During 1996
I began including limericks (or reasonable facsimilies),
in some of the forecasts, as time and inspiration allowed.
The following is a compilation of the limericks from the 2006 season.
Note: You might have to be a Packer fan to pick up on some of the
inside jokes, and because most were written before
the game, they don't all accurately reflect what actually
occurred in each game.
Enjoy.

Bears at Packers
Is Grossman or Griese the swifter,
When chased by a Packer end drifter?
It may be split'n hairs,
When da Pack meets da Bears,
In the two-thousan'-six season lid-lifter.
Saints at Packers
The offense looked like a bag of fleas,
Suffering from a cripplin' disease;
Time to get it back in stride,
Step it up 'n regain the pride,
As downing the Saints won't be a Brees.
Packers at Lions
After two games that were less than stellar,
Detroit is next for the green and yellah,
Will it be Jon and Roy,
Or the real McCoy,
To star in this race for the cellar?
Packers at Lions (Epilogue)
When the defense did bring it,
Brett didn't just fling it,
One thing we learned,
As the Lions were burned:
The vet'ran can still wing it.
Rams at Packers
That halftime lead was a sight worth beholding,
But it wasn't long 'til the Pack was afolding,
Now from St. Louis they come,
A team that can kick, pass and run,
Like wolves ... in Rams clothing.
Packers at Dolphins
Dangling hooks, either crawlered or leeched,
The Pack spent the weekend where they couldn't be reached;
Singing new tunes,
As the season resumes,
Where we hope the offense won't be South Beached.
Cardinals at Packers
Lambeau was once a site to be awed,
With frigid turf where frostbite gnawed;
Has a new friendly perception,
Replaced the chilly reception,
And the once-frozen tundra been thawed?
Packers at Bills
The running game has suffered some dings,
Just when they were finding their springs;
Now imagine their shock,
Of an opening block,
Then finding that Buffaloes have wings.
Packers at Vikings
After that game back east not good for the ticker;
The Pack goes west where the plot gets thicker,
They'll leave their home,
For the big Homer Dome,
And prepare to sic their ex-kicker.
Packers at Vikings (Epilogue)
The Pack finds any dome vict'ry a treat,
And taking a game from the Vikes is sweet;
Off in a flash,
On an 80-yard dash,
Then they were in the Driver's seat.
Packers at Seahawks
Injuries have led to depth chart reductions,
Now fans are prayin' for elbow reconstructions;
Should Bouman take a snap,
To fill a Q-B gap,
Each huddle will need to start with introductions.
Jets at Packers
The Jets are up next for the Colby Clad,
Upon their return to their frozen pad;
A win their aim,
Clear victor proclaim,
Even while leaving one hanging Chad.
Packers at Forty-Niners
Now they're off to the golden shore,
Where miners found that precious ore,
Takin' in that sea-chilled air,
The Pack will face that Monster pair,
Not Hulk and Kong, but Smith and Gore.
Lions at Packers
Lions fans might idle their noodle,
Spending the day penning a doodle,
As the draft they await,
Setting the fate,
Of Millen, Kitna, and caboodle.
Vikings at Packers
The pressure's on the Viking skipper,
To choose the arm that is most chipper,
You can bet your Yule log,
Due to rainclouds or fog,
He won't be guided by the Big Dipper.
Packers at Bears
Facing a Bear defense quite stingy,
Will stretch the Pack offense bingy,
But with fans still believin',
Their record they'll even,
As they play in the city quite windgy.
