A Try Is Scored

fifteen run after an oval shaped ball
guy with a whistle has the final call 
a try scored counts as five
that makes the crowd come alive
oh boy, I love it when they dive and fall



*To clear up the confusion my limerick
is about Rugby* 





9th place
LET'S LIMERICK CONTEST

The only time I saw rugby was in a movie with Morgan Freeman playing Nelson Mandella. It sounds like a very exciting game! Probably a lot like football is here. Good luck in the contest, Wilma. Enjoyed your limerick, Diane

Is this soccer, Wilma? Football has 11 players per team and the scoring is different, so I'm thinking you're writing about soccer. In fact, I am reminded of the movie "Invictus." What a terrific limerick! Best wishes in the contest, dear friend. Love,Carolyn
