The Good Sport

A limeric by Lorne Laliberte

Foreword:

Another Grade 12 English assignment, where we were given 5 minutes to come up with a limerick. I don't know where the idea for this came from, but I remember being completely blocked for the first four minutes, and then scribbling this entirely within the last 60 seconds.


The Good Sport

© 1989 Lorne Laliberte

There once was a very swift man,
Whose pants got caught in a fan.
He was a good sport,
As he still had his shorts,
And was saved by how fast that he ran.

Afterword:

All the limericks were later submitted to the Collegiate's Limerick Contest, but mine didn't place. I remember being very confused about this after reading the limerick that won. :)
