A troll once dropped into a fourm
In which other members held quorum
A flamewar ensued
Which could not be subdued
And the quorum soon lost it's decorum
Chess Limericks
Sort:
I just wanted to say that all of you are very talented for the original limericks posted and a big thank you to those who posted links and references.
Limericks are my favorite form of poetry and a great user of limericks is none other than, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson [see: The Complete Illustrated Works of Lewis Carroll, Avenel Books, New York 1982].
I would like to give the WISE GUY AWARD to hold_on for his limerick, Candid Castle, since its ending was very snappy because it didn't rhyme --- yet it made perfect sense (very creative).
I would also like to give the MOST ORIGIANL AWARD to two recipients: Loomis for the limerick, "untitled," in which the poet was able to give props to chess.com (pose for photo and ... nice) and another MOST ORIGINAL AWARD to footballfans for his limerick which also did not rhyme at the end --- yet made perfect sense (very creative, but extra credit points are added for his sardonic battle cry: "We'll nuke you!" Very funny).
Although I am not as talented as the limerick poets who have posted before me, I can only share the one limerick I remember from my favorite Grandfather. It went exactly like this:
In Days of Old
When Knights were bold
And toilets were not yet invented
People left their load
In the middle of the road
And then walked away contented
--- Gilbert del Argo
Peace

There once was a cheater much fabled
whose moves were played by Cannibal

In which case he'll say I'm UNMATEABLE!

Another one same book.
They Sky's are a pitiful lot,
There's Chom and there's Spas and there's Trot.
Trot chos the wrong lobby,
Spas flunked out to Bobby,
And the structures of Chom are all rot.
Okay, I know Spasky and Chomsky but can some one tell me the what Trotsky did?
I may be wrong but i believe Trotsky, poor fellow, got an ice pick in his head while hanging around in a hotel lobby. Or i could have made that up.....

I once played a game with a master
I moved quickly, but he played much faster
I soon left the book
And he skewered my rook
An unmitigated disaster
Nice one, Mr Grobe. It'll get my vote for first place.
There's one olympic game
Where the Russians have fame
And try as they may
Americans can't play
And that's why we have Michael Phelps!
What'd you say? That last part doesn't rhyme? We'll nuke you!
