we would like to win
God helped us out of a jam
set a new record

prayed to God each day
show us a way we can win
never be shut out

God was at game day
while we would clap and applaud
in support of team...

Set a new record for writing these limericks
Wrote this snappy one in less than a minute
Took quite the risk
Of dislocating a disc
And to top it all off, I was eating spinach!

In nineteen hundred thirty eight
Howard found a new record to break.
Around the world the fastest ever;
Three hundred fifty two miles per hour.
He filled the plane with ping pong balls.
In case of a crash to cushion the fall.
He also had the bright notion.
They would keep him afloat should he fall to the ocean.

In 1984 Peter Finan and Neil Smith played Scrabble at college
They played it for one hundred and fifty-three hours
Setting a new record.

My little bit of natural life.
Its biodiversity rife.
Frogs, bugs, butterflies, hedgehogs, mice.
Annuals, perennials, lice.
Fruit, cherries, blackberries, no strife!

All in peak condition, no blite.
Every day new finds excite!
New for the county too, quite nice.
My little bit!

Records have to be recorded… type.
New finds my contribution… life
Each new record another slice,
For what it takes I’ll pay the price.
Enjoyed by me and my dear wife.
My little bit!...
