Cross-Eyed Woman -Limerick-
Cross eyed woman had a nasty fall
after running into a brick wall
she was hit over the head
with a big loaf of bread
while trying to play basketball

Laughingstock
I made the bet on who’d win the game
the Bulls looked great; my team played quite lame
dressed in clown’s clothes
with a red clown nose
the whole office will laugh without shame

Basketball Shoes
My basketball sneakers could make me fly
In fourth grade I could jump so high
I wasn't the best on the team
But I was in my dream
With those shoes, I swear I could touch the sky.

Hyperbole is a sports cast
Announcers have egos so vast
My ears must have rest
From this lambasting pest
Collection of morons amassed
Author's note: Is it getting worse, or is it just me?

Steph Curry
Steph Curry is taking hoops to a whole new level,
Say the rabid Oaktown fans as they revel.
The way he throws it in the hole
from downtown off a pick and roll
Makes me wonder if he's signed on with the Devil...

A Basketball Tale
Basketball tip off at grade school game
My biggest lifetime shot at fame
Got the ball and took off
Heard the yells from aloft
Wrong way I went but good my aim

Call Me Crazy
Basketball is my favorite sport of them all
Watching those sexy men run with a ball
Just want to meet one
Reach out and grab some
Need a shower or massage just give me a call
FOR LET'S LIMERICK CONTEST

Basket Ball
To excel at the game basketball
It helps if you are incredibly tall
Two points you can get
By dropping the ball in the net
Without making much effort at all

Life With Trump I
It's bullies Melania fights
The big one is now in her sights
If Donald should stray
His schlong she will flay
And not even give him last rites

Swish
I missed the toilet in the dark,
I'm always deadly as a shark,
I miscalculated -
math is overrated...
think basketball: Shoot with an arc.

A Tail Like a Fish
Too-tall Jackson had a tail like a fish
But when he swam his gym shoes went squish-squish
He took up basketball
That was sure the right call
Happy end to his tale ~ A perfect swish!

Totem -- Odom
A basketball player named Odom
Wants to dribble the balls in his scrotum
He tries to bounce them
Hardwood boards renounce them
Odom can't put 'em back ~ has to tote 'em!

The basketball player Will Droop
Just skipped to the 'loo for a poop
Our cameras were there
To capture mid-air

Jim
A new basketball player in the gym
Was at once by all dubbed Very Tall Jim.
Give him the ball,
Very bad call,
Dribbling in Jim hit his head on the rim.

Local Draft Choice
Once lived an energetic lad in Montreal
He was rather large, I would say, seven feet tall
Tough as old shoe leather
He did not care whether
He played with varsity team basketball, at all.

Basketball Picks
Untimely was Hamilton Hicks
In making his basketball picks.
He knew it all well,
How each bracket fell,
But always too late with his clicks.

Too Tall for the Two-Point Try
A giraffe, named Gertrude, so tall,
Tried to join a small basketball brawl.
She dunked with her head,
The ref turned quite red,
"That's a foul! You're too high for this hall!"
