There was an old man called Sepp Blatter
To whom football just didn't matter
As long as his crime
Through the fullness of time
Made his thick FIFA wallet grow fatter.

There was an old man called Sepp Blatter
To whom football just didn't matter
As long as his crime
Through the fullness of time
Made his thick FIFA wallet grow fatter.

ReplyDeleteA Tennesee lady called Mary
DeleteHad parts that were terribly hairy
After self-immolation
And deforestation
She's now as glabrous as a fairy.
Well, my hair is very short and very grey, but "glabrous"??
DeleteAnd now I guess I'll have to learn to write limericks as well as haiku.
That might even go viral for you YP.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I hope I won't be spreading flu-like systems around the world.
DeleteI laughed out loud. I also laugh at the attitude of people who despise what they see as corruption in countries whose economies are not as fabulous as Western economies and then applaud and promote the very same thing on a grand scale when it happens at home.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it...
Ms Soup
You don't get "it" because you are not on the FIFA gravy train Alphie!
DeleteExcellent sell it to Nanc.....I mean...Football Weakly. You could get a regular column inch.
ReplyDeleteColumn inch? More like Column 8.5 inch Adrian!
DeletePigs awake, fed and ready to fly in Sheffield?
DeleteYou really know how to hurt a guy Adrian!
DeleteAnd on and on did Blatter blather as if it didn't matter!
ReplyDeleteAn Australian lady called Lee
DeleteWent to Blatter's place for her tea
She started to blush
And her heart turned to mush
When he clamped his old hand on her knee
And how so loudly he did bawl
DeleteHis cry was heard down the hall
When strategically her foot hit his ball
He was the one then to turn red
With his tail between his legs he fled
I didn't realise that just like Adolf Hitler, Blatter has only got one ball.
DeleteI'm sick and tired by now of the FIFA affairs being endlessly on every news programme, but your limerick sums it all up nicely and certainly makes me neither sick nor tired.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love limericks ever since our English teacher first introduced them to us when I was about 11. My mind is just not bright enough to make up my own.
A Ludwigsburg lady called Meike
DeleteWanted her neighbours to like her
She invited them in
For hors d'oeuvres and pink gin
All displayed on her kitchen formica
I love it!!! Thank you! Am I allowed to nick it and publish it on my blog? (Giving credit to the author, of course.)
DeleteOf course you may nick it Ambassador. You wouldn't want to read the alternative and more mischievous version that fluttered briefly in my mind!
DeleteExcellent.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what rhymes with Graham apart from the obvious - mayhem.
DeleteI must say, I really do not understand all the fuss. I especially do not understand why our FBI is involved. It's not like they have no corruption to investigate right here at home!
ReplyDeleteLove all the limericks! You could write a tome of them in a week and make tons of cash. But then, the FBI might get after you. Better not.....
A woman called Peace Thyme Garden and Weather Station
DeleteOffered me congratulation
When in rapid time
I penned a rhyme
That filled her with huge admiration
Sepp Blatter? Is that a disease that affects one's ability to piss?
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! You cheeky monkey Jan!
DeleteHa! Ha! Very apt !
