1998 Packers in Limerick Form

For the past several 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 those limericks. Note: You 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 occurred in each game.

Enjoy.

Shareholders Meeting July, 8

They'll come to the Land of Dairy,
From Tomah and Tucumcari;
Highlights have been scored,
Lest they get bored,
By all things fiduciary.

American Bowl, Packers vs Chiefs, Tokyo

Prepare your Johnsonville sushi,
Then park your beer and caboo'shi;
Now look to the Far East,
And serve the rice feast,
To your Gilbert Tama-"goot"-chi.

Lions at Packers

Now that the roster is known,
The seeds of the season are sown;
But the green grass of home,
Belies a likeness to Rome,
As Reg', to the Lions, is thrown.

Buccaneers at Packers

Of the Packers' streak they're proud,
The faithful to bring cheers loud,
And venom to vent,
To show vis'ting Trent,
What makes for a real home crowd.

Packers at Bengals

Into the doghouse he's shooed,
Whenever the ball comes unglued;
His spirit is vervy,
And path of'en swervy,
He's the Pack's surfer dude.

Packers at Panthers

Nothin' could be finer,
Than to sit in my recliner,
To twist open a brew,
And watch Brett and his crew,
Bomb Capers and Panthers to Chiner.

Vikings at Packers

The Vikes have two vets and a rook,
To whom their QB can look,
But their defense can give,
Many yards like a sieve,
And their lutefisk the Packers should cook.

Packers at Lions

The fans of Barry and crew,
Bedecked in Honalu' Blue,
Must fret ev'ry match,
Now that life is a Batch,
From Detroit to Kalamazoo.

Ravens at Packers

Once upon a midnight dreary,
Holmgren pondered weak and weary,
"Oh to cease this losing sorrow,
How many pickoffs thrown t'morrow?"
Quoth the Favreman, "Nevermore!".

49ers at Packers

Where vis'ting owners can be surly,
And the winds somewhat swirly,
While oft' veiled in snow,
Not for Larry or Moe,
Its the stadium named for Curly.

Packers at Steelers

The ends with their sacking vocation,
Enclose the line in quotation,
From the snap they will dash,
And meet at the Slash,
For its all in the punctuation.

Packers at Giants

Could it be truth, not a fable,
That Hoffa is buried like cable?;
I might be persuaded,
If Gilbert twice spaded,
And found an old union label.

Packers at Vikings

On the Vikings the snow used to fall,
And through the muck they would crawl,
So I think it not nice,
They paved paradise,
And put up a shopping mall.

Eagles at Packers

Though a running game quite quirky,
Is making the future look murky,
They wobble like weebles,
As the Pack meets the Eagles,
And treats them like leftover turkey.

Buccaneers at Packers

From the Bucs a game to purlion,
Despite brok'n jaw and pulled groin;
Let this contest be won,
'Fore the sound of the gun,
And not left to a flip of a coin.

Bears at Packers

How to keep Brett from the Bear's clutches,
And free him to aim for some Pack touchs?
The I.R. is full,
So forget the guard pull,
And commence tripping with crutches.

Oilers at Packers

The linemen would have quite the libidos,
Should they ask Santa for speedos,
But they'll use their girth,
To earn a playoff berth,
As they take on the Tennessee Tuxedoes.

Packers at Bears

Having gnawed the holiday carcass,
In front of the TV just park us;
Our rivals, the bruins,
Seem smoking as ruins,
Save for Allen at back -- not Marcus.
