Limericks! What the heck is going on here!!

Limericks from the (Ephraim NAC) Limerick Party assisted by a four hour on water postponement for lack of wind. Submitted by Amy Miller, Kim Thinel, Len Gunther and Tom Lawton (it's a good thing I procrastinate, or we would have missed the late entries!) The things people will do to get on this Blog!

To get you into the flow we'll start with;

There once was a man from Nantucket
Wisconsin was not in the budget
He wishes he were here
For brats, corn and beer
On the boat, he would pee in a bucket

Honoring our Wisconsin Venue, NACs in general, and the locals;

We came to Wisconsin, you betcha'
To race we would all try to catch ya'
From cherries and cheese
To ice cream and breeze
Oh, Ephraim, we'll never forget cha'

Planned vacation to Ephraim, so glad
Oh, what a time we have had
From big gusts and waves
Our sails made the save
Don't just get even, Get Mad!

In Ephraim, we all are here
We'll have fun and drink lots of beer
We'll eat brats and cheese
Or drink scotch if you please
It's a week filled with joy and good cheer!

A week filled with fun and merriment
At this Flying Scot National Tournament
I'll give it my all
I will try not to fall
And I might see what Greg Fisher meant

I've done nothing, but think about jib trim
In preparation for our trip to Ephraim
On the boat, Skipper's boss
And if the words are cross
I'll just fill my scotch glass to the brim

We are staying at the Beatle and Poker
A pig will be cooked in a smoker
We'll eat fattening brats
And make fun of the snots
The weather'll be great says Al Roker

They love their rum and tonic
It's much better than a high colonic
Wisconsin's so cool
Beats the Fishing Bay pool
It all will make us go super sonic

On Thursday, there wasn't much breeze
The morning zephyr had just been a tease
Kids swimming and singing
The rigging was pinging
Just a little more wind, if you please

NACs are over, and they were a hoot
Time on the water, well worth the commute
July, known for it's toil
Our yield came in beer, greasy brats and fish boil
2010's our next shot at the (pickle dish) loot

To Ephraim we drove with our toys
For a few days' fun with girls and boys
Fair skies we were given
Eagle Harbor sailing –really livin'
Now it's back home to our toils

Honoring some of the competitors…

When my car quit I thought we were done
The schedule had us under the gun
With John Wake as crew
Not sailing wouldn't do
So he drove from Virgina to "Wisconsun"

There is a sailor named Hans
He's Holland's modern day Fonz
His crew's and English Dame
Who hollers, "Pull that main!"
So his medal will be better than bronze

There is a boat so green
It looks so sleek and so clean
The name is Wind Dancer
On the waves, she's a prancer
Barb and Len think she's nifty and keen

There's a van pulling sailboat, Pig Pen
It is sailed by the masters of Zen
If on board you find Missy
No one will throw a hissy
And they're sure to finish in the top ten

John Wake is a dude, so cool
On sailing, he'll take you to school
If he's near a mark
You may hear him bark
And with boat transport, he sure does rule
