As the Ghost of Gasperella watched from his perch
He was drenched from his pants to his shirt
But before the gridiron battle ended and the Knights still had the mission to be defended,
In the bowl game that was dealing with conditions that were a messing
There was one more question that needed a dressing,
On this day looking for talent at their best
At stake was the spread that determined who would go home with the treasure chest
Having one last chance the herd could steal the money
During a game where the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny,
Strategically sending a fling the herd threw a bomb that might have hit the King.
Only problem was there was a Knight there to intercept this act of might.
With nothing more to say
The knights added to the score which made them take home the gold before Christmas Day.
In conclusion when it does rain
Do as the Ghost of Gasperella did and enjoy the game
That was really a final exam for those searching for fortune and fame.
I've just been told to be an adult around here
My answer is why feel like an old-time buccaneer
Wielding my sword
Hey matey climb aboard
Sail the seas wreaking havoc, sweet lassies to share
A vile buccaneer called Darth Vadry
Needed wife back so they’d remarry--
Thief offered gold loot
A useless pursuit,
Dame rigged him …with Tom, Dick, and Harry!

Tania Kitchin's Pirate Themed Limerick Contest
A reckless young pirate named Greg
Drank whisky straight out of a keg.
He cried 'Look at me!'
In shark-ridden sea;
That drink cost an arm and a leg!

Young mariner’s ship sank in storm severe,
he lost the treasure, swam to the shore near.
Promise of wealth he couldn’t keep,
she threw him into a heap.
So he returned to sea as buccaneer.

BOLD BUCCANEER
A wicked and bold buccaneer,
Patrolled the high seas with no fear.
The kings excise men
Tried time and again,
But never got anywhere near

Hey all you people out there, be nice ya hear?
Change yer ways or y'all get a kick in the rear
Not bad up till now
Must do better somehow
Room for improvement, says this ancient buccaneer
Well how do you do, my name is Lou
I'm a normal old chap except for my do
Hair down to here
Like an old buccaneer
A romantic old buggar and quite naughty too

There was once a buccaneer
They say he sailed the seas with fear.
Of his stories told
Of his bravery so bold,
For he went nowhere, for he could not steer.

Wolfgang was a pirate
At the age of eighteen
He was at any rate
Very respectable and clean
He was at the most
Skilled and feared
By Poseidon's Ghost
and Captain Red Beard
He arrived at Cape Lost
And met a girl
Whose destiny had crossed?
In his advenurous world
Her name is Chalise
Eyes a beautiful blue
The Captains niece
Guarded by the crew
But he had to see her
So he came close
Posing as a music teacher
Stealing the robes
He earned her trust
And her love
That night it was lust
With this romantic dove
They gallop on a horse
Across the beach
Through the waters force
In the sea
He takes her home
Before the sunrise
The crew catches this rogue
Knocking him down in suprise
They bound his wrist
And his feet
Hurl him off a cliff
Into the sea
One would wish for his escape
wrenching free of his ties
He did not meet his fate
For on a beach he lies
He awakes in the morn
dazed by the fall
His brain is torn
For he can't remember anything at all
Such is life for this young man
His travels lead him back to her
A pirate he becomes again
Ordained to him by earth
