Editor’s note: These limericks, written in September, were supposed to run in October. Happy November! Giants cling to a fragile first place It’s been, I admit, quite a race But SF will prevail and the Padres will fail as we head for a World Series chase. Though it didn’t work out in ‘02, and Yank’s [...]

Poor Mauri, an ample young lawyer At an Opera, she slipped in the foyer Her screams were so shrill They sued for a mil Claiming she was an opera-destroyer Ignoring all pleas to restrain She countered for 10 mil for pain And then, at the trial Stood all the while And hobbled around with a [...]

So we lost our first bout with L.A. But we rebounded strong the next day Giants’ record is best Above ALL the rest So no doubt we’ll keep Dodgers at bay.

There once was a poor leprechaun, who wanted to go ‘cross the pond. He rode the next rainbow to grab hold of some gold— and found he had just crossed the pond. —The Limerichaun There once was a man named Sam who ate nothing but peas and ham. When he didn’t have any he stole [...]

[Editor’s note: Kiri Kiri the Limerick Deary absolutely swears that these are her last baseball limericks until at least April (or maybe March...)] Baseball season has reached its sad end, and I’d vowed no more limericks to send— But the Blue blew their chance for a World Series dance, and were doomed from the start, [...]

Editor’s note: As the Limerick Wars of 2009 draw to a close, mainly because the Giants appear to be out of the pennant race, this month’s limerick offerings feature a dialogue of sorts between Gene, Gene, The Limerick Machine and Birdman.

Editor’s Note: The limerick wars between Foolish Times fan Kiri and Gene, Gene, the Limerick Machine continue. Last month we printed Kiri’s response to Gene’s anti-Barry Zito limerick; this month Gene responds. For those who don’t know, Barry Zito is a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants.

Editor’s Note: Apparently a Foolish Times reader named Kiri took exception to a limerick by Gene, Gene, the Limerick Machine, printed in last month’s issue. We printed it as one of our “best of” limericks (it’s from a few years back), but Kiri thinks otherwise. We’re printing it again below, with Kiri’s response. Let the [...]
