LIMERICK

From over the pond came Mighty John Quinn

The World Title he did want to win

But first he met Shirley

Who splashed him quite early

He saw stars as he lay in the ring

There once was a wrestler called Ricky

Who's dance training made him well tricky

With his quick dancing feet

I saw him beat Street

Next time, poor Ade pulled a sickie

There once was a big lad named Shirley

Big, strong and tough, very burly

When he butted his belly

Their legs turned to jelly

So his bouts always finished well early

The fans held their breath

When Bad Doctor Death

Repeatedly took them for fools.

They booed and they hissed

At what the ref missed

But he delightedly bent all the rules.

A wrestler named Danny Lynch

Was not a man who would flinch

From London to Dover

There was blood left all over

Blades or heads in a clinch ?

Almost a limerick, too many words to get in.

I remember a strongman, Hassan Ali Bey

He was billed to fight The Ghoul that day

A chop, a smile, a shake of the head

Neck stuck out -big target instead

Stiff fingers to stomach, down he lay

Ghoul indicated, you won't win that way.

Some wrestlers were keener

Some may have been meaner

But for downing a glass

Few could surpass

The ever popular Anglo Italian star

DODGY CORTINA.

Now Hack,I read your urgent request

and this brought a response of interest

More people to send items in now

about their memories and how

they enjoyed wrestling at it's best.

I saw that wrestler, Jack Pye

in the ring feathers would fly

Abdul the Turk's mat went flying

He was upset ,really trying

but Jack's ability was too high.

There was a young writer called James

Brought frivolity fun and games
