By David Isaacson | 18 November 2009
This joke about Ras Dumisani is circulating on email

This joke about Ras Dumisani is doing the rounds on email

There was a Durban singer called Ras
Who caused an international fuss
When holding a note
He blared like a goat
But thinks he sang beautifully for us

Pacquiao v Cotto – here’s something light-hearted for a change of pace. Enjoy!

Pacquiao’s limerick:

There was a good boxer called Manny
Who put men to sleep like a nanny
He bid them goodnight
With a left and a right
He’s too strong, too quick and too canny!

Limerick to Butana Komphela

This vuvuzela is no match for Butana Komphela

This vuvuzela is no match for Butana Komphela

There was an old man called Komphela
With a mouth like a big vuvuzela
He used all his power
To make people cower
A stupid yet dangerous fella!

A new limerick to Leonard Chuene

If only Leonard Chuene could keep his mouth shut all the time

If only Leonard Chuene could keep his mouth shut all the time

Leonard Chuene is now denying that he lied about Caster Semenya (click here to read the latest story). And to read the article where he himself – using his own mouth – admitted to lying, click here.

Is he so stupid to think that we’ve forgotten him apologising for lying? Hmmm, I won’t answer that … mind you, he was addressing Parliament, or more specifically, the sports portfolio committee chaired by his buddy Butana Komphela.

Doesn’t that count as contempt of Parliament?

Anyway, here’s a limerick to that mampara Chuene, who clearly will remain as Athletics SA president until the day he dies!

There was an old fool called Len
Who’s lying to us again
He said he lied
Now he’s denied
For truth he gets zilch outta 10!

Limerick to Joel Santana, ex-Bafana Bafana coach

By David Isaacson | 20 October 2009
Bye bye Bafana

Bye bye Bafana

There was an old coach called Joel
Whose team couldn’t score a goal
But he took the blame
For a side that’s lame
Now he’s back in Brazil on the dole

Limerick for poor Obama

By David Isaacson | 2 October 2009

There was a young man called Obama
Who worked as hard as a llama
For Chicago he fought
But it came to naught
Coz he lost his touch as a charmer!

Limerick to Julius Malema

By David Isaacson | 1 October 2009

There was a Youth man called Malema
Who loved causing kak and dilemma
A congenital clot
He’d mouth off his rot
That’s why he’s no tertiary diplema!

A Limerick for Leonard Chuene

By David Isaacson | 28 September 2009

There was an old man called Len
Who made athletics his den
But he raised much ire
When exposed as a liar
He was not a man among men!

A limerick to Bafana Bafana

By David Isaacson | 9 September 2009

Bafana Bafana deserve a limerick for their memorable performance in Limerick, so here goes:

There was a soccer team called Bafana
Who hoped to get as good as Ghana
But they were less than fair
Losing 1-0 to Eire
So give another million to Santana!

(Hopefully Bafana will never play in Sonnet, Ode or Iambic Pentametre)
