JIMERICKS

What is a Jimerick? Jim, W3CKU, the poet laureate of 3.977 has penned some verse to commemorate a few of our members. Remember, the keyboard is mightier than the mic!

Who is that on our frequency?
Sounds like he's from Tennessee.
His accent is pretty,
His wife's name is Kitty,
It's Jay Bird from Nashville, N.C.

A ham in Rupert named Harry
Sells ham gear but you should be wary
Learn sooner or later
He's a very tough trader,
No credit, it's all cash and carry.

His antenna is now fixed just right
He's working DX all the night.
You can hear him again
He's not up on ten.
160 is his band of delight.
| W4EQ |

I'd like to stay and I oughta,
I hate to run but I gotta,
I just have a hanker
To raise that old anchor,
I'm leaving to sail the regatta.

Dean will show up you can bet
Takes a minute to get it all set.
He stays for a while
But then spins the dial,
He's gone to the graveyard net.
| W4GEB | (ex:W3FQ)

A ham with the suffix FQ
Has rigs, and not just a few
They should be in a rack,
They fill up his shack,
Not one Collins, this guy's got TWO.

Who's back in the hills and dug in ?
Who's left the quartets he's sung in ?
Who's voice is so deep
When he gets up from sleep,
It's Fanny's Nasty Young'in!
| WA4OOD |

O O D said that he would retire
But we know he still is for hire.
He now stays in Cary,
His signal won't vary,
He still puts the fire on the wire!

A Dudley whose name is Sherwood
Wants to run his computer real good.
If you ask him right now
Would he like to learn how,
He responds quite quickly, "I sure would".
|For W3CKU from W4QCF |

No matter what the conditions are
This station needs no "amplifar!"
That great chuckle rolls in strong and clear
Better check your S-meter AND your ear
He's got 'em all going... The Czar of Vernacular!

With the Old Goats I'm having a ball,
I believe that they know my call,
I've been here two years,
They're training my ears,
And I'm learning to say Y'all.

|Owed to W3CKU by WB4LEH |

There once was a poet named Jim
Who could write clever verse on a whim
He could rhyme like a champ,
Even without an amp.
He just never heard one about him!

He asks every once and a while
"Are my tones like broadcasting style?"
This mic is not old,
They call it the GOLD,
It cost me a lot it's a Heil.

KF4IE

With this you can't disagree,
It's hard to rhyme an Oleksy.
It's often been told,
By gals young and old,
They think he's really quite sexy.

Ed Ballard is gaining new fame.
His antenna just made a big flame.
The wind took it down,
He jerked it around,
So "Sparky" will be his new name.

WB4RPG
He says with loud shouts and hollers
I feel like a million dollars.
     I sleep thru the night
     It feels just right,
I'm thru with any horse collars. 


Not a limerick....but more a poem by W3CKU

We all have our problems that come in this life,
With toils and trouble and all sorts of strife.
What is needed are some good solid rules,
And not just more plug-in tools.

So I sought out an ancient old wise man,
And said help me if you possibly can.
Can you share with me some words of advice?
Some words I can use at least more than twice?

He pondered a while as he scratched his head
He brought the words back as though from the dead,
He raised up his arm and with one bony hand
Wrote these words immortal right there in the sand.

"If it won't move on a car that is sporty
Just use some WD-40.
If it moves and you can't escape it,
Remember you can always duct tape it!"
