#64 - Week Off

I have one week of vacation
Away from my occupation.
So eff limericks,
I need a quick fix
Of Las Vegas relaxation.

#63 - Hall Shoots, Hall Scores!

Hall got his first NHL goal
Deflecting it through the five-hole.
Now that he has scored,
We will not be bored.
That kid's gonna go on a roll.

#62 - Backup

Tonight, Devan Dubnyk will start.
A move that most fans think is smart.
Jeff Deslaurier
Will say it's okay
But deep down there's a pain in his heart.

#61 - Flames Again?

Please stab me in the eyes with a pen...
We're playing the damned Flames again.
Hey scheduler, you're fired
'Cause we're all sick and tired
Of booing that team of so-called men.

Haiku #14 - Learning

Losing 6 to 1...
A learning experience.
Learn to win next time.

#60 - Going Wild

There once was a team called the Wild
Who in Oil Country were reviled.
When they'd meet on the road
The Oilers would implode
So hopefully at home they'll be riled.

#59 - Mandel

There once was a man named Mandel
Who clearly was not a tough sell.
If we all made our picks
Based on him versus six
In the mayor's office he'd still dwell.

#58 - Monday

Oh hello, my nemesis Monday...
Polar opposite of a fun day.
Let it not go unsaid:
To me, you are dead
And will forever be a shunned day.

Haiku #13 - Hockey Night

Alberta battle.
Hockey Night in Canada.
Flames will all be doused.

#57 - The Streak

In Minny, road games have been bleak.
Thirteen losses made the Oil look weak.
But no lactic acid
Means legs won't be flaccid
So tonight they'll begin a new streak.

#56 - Work Week

Down the road something we should all seek
Is a schedule with one little tweak.
Long weekends are good
But really we should
Change the norm to a 4-day work week.

Haiku #12 - Thanks?

oh, thirty pound bird
you've flown from plate to belly
now I'm the stuffed one

#55 - The King

After game one it's easy to see

There's a monarch in Oil Country.

With a single goal

He's now in control.

All bow down to King Eberle.

#54 - It Begins

 



The wait's finally over, it's true.
It begins for the copper and blue.
With our eight dollar beer,
The whole Nation will cheer
On route to win number eighty-two.

#53 - The Cough

My cough's into week number three.
Suffice to say it sucks to be me.
With a big "ahem!"
I hack up some phlegm
And my coworkers all turn and flee.

#52 - The 7th Defenceman

The preseason Oilers have looked slick
But one thing still makes some fans sick.
Petiot, Peckham, Belle
Will all give'er hell
Just to earn a spot behind Strudwick.

#51 - The Rookies

There once was a set of three rookies
Who all seemed to be quite skilled cookies.
Tonight will be a first...
Triple hat tricks, no worse!
Just ask Edmonton's finest bookies.

Limerick #50

There once was a coach named Pat Quinn
Who had a commitment to win.
He didn't win many
So now in comes Renney,
While Pat takes one on his big chin.

Haiku #11

10:30 p.m.
Who does the sun think he is?
I think I'll moon him.

Limerick #49

There once was a happy white whale
Who liked to drink casks full of ale.
The old whale would sink
From the beer he'd drink
Then get rescued by birds without fail.
