    Careful, Richard: Chezza’s going to get jealous if he isn’t the subject of every ode in this thread.

    “Chezza’s going to get jealous if he isn’t the subject of every ode in this thread.”

    Chezza’s Rules Of Poetry

    A limerick isn’t really a proper poem.

    A poem which isn’t about Chezza isn’t really a proper poem.

    Chezza hopes that helps.

    Damn. I’m going to have to burn all my poetry books now. Good job Marvell wrote To His Not So Coy Chezza- I can at least save that one from the pyre.

    I notice that I’m 4 to 1,
    even though I’m no poet laureate.
    Chezza probably better at this than me,
    and will probably win this, he calls it fate.

    The best things in life are free.
    But you can give them to the birds and bees.

    Here you go Nathan….my one and only entry.. :mail:

    If Chezza was a horse
    I think he’d be a Hack
    With a trainer eating Hob Nobs
    sitting on his back.

    Chezza gazed with hungry eyes
    upon his favourite treat
    and hatched a plan to steal them
    when his trainer went to eat.

    The trainer carefully placed
    the tempting Hob Nobs in a Manger
    Ha ha thought Chezza nows my chance
    to grab them..there’s no danger.

    But just as Chezza went to down
    the Hob Nobs in one bite
    a little mouse jumped out
    and gave poor Chezza quite a fright.

    The mouse began to eat his way
    clean through the tasty snack
    until he heard some footsteps
    Yes the Trainer had come back.

    The mouse’s stomach was so full
    it felt tight as a drum
    he felt so ill he scampered off
    to get Imodium.

    The Trainer came back really mad
    his Hob Nobs gone astray
    and the poor old Hack just got a snack
    Of meadowgrass and hay.

    A Classic – Bit of a sad ending, though!

    Yes it was Ian but the trainer thought the naughty hack had downed his Hob Nobs and needed detoxing. :rose:

    Richard will be getting the restriction on his Nathbet account in the morning.
    Taking advantage of a late suspension in market due to technical difficulty. He’d steal my shoelaces if I were to blink.

    You are Denise Coates and I claim my £5.

    I’m assuming terms and conditions apply to that too…

    The colt tipped on the forum, looked fantastic walking round,
    A good price in the ring, my monies down,

    They get to the bushes, the colt eases to the front,
    I’m punching the air shouting go on yes, my heart thumping like an old water pump,

    Into the dip and .. oh no, the jockey is rowing and the colt’s changing his legs,
    The rest cruise past and fly on ahead,

    I curse the tipster, You can guess the name,
    I walk slowly back to the paddock to wait and start again.
