There was a young poet from Gort,
Who left all his limericks short.
He never could end
The four lines that he penned.
Calling all poets and writers!
The All Ireland ‘limericks’ Championship takes place Tues 9th Nov in The Loft Venue at The Locke Bar, George’s Quay Limerick…start time 8.00pm!
The slam will take the form of a two round contest (so bring at least two ‘limericks’) and the verse must strictly follow the ‘limerick’ formula, it must also be of the performers own construction.
The winners will be chosen by an appointed three person panel. The prize on offer is a trophy for the winner and two runner up prizes. If you want to participate, all you have to do is arrive on the night to the Locke Bar and give your name to the M.C. Alternatively you can send on your name to the limerickwriterscentre@gmail.com requesting inclusion. Admission is free.

Is there really a Gort? That's funny in itself. If I submmit one, can you read it for me?

Hi Kat. Gort is in East Galway. Sadly, I will not be travelling to Limerick for the event!
ReplyDeleteSo the last line he had to abort?
ReplyDeleteTFE, well, it fits. And it doesn't, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteWritten the other week in honour of Corks favourite airborne onanist
ReplyDeleteThere once was some radio slime
Who thought he himself so sublime
Took pills, oh so silly
Then got out his willy
And proved what we knew all the time
