Comic 1142 - Coverage

You can’t call, text message or page
A man in a metal mesh cage.
I think this might be
Why the whole UFC
Roster’s always in such a great rage.

Comic 1107 - Sports Cheat Sheet

At any time of the sports year
I can wear the right shirt, and drink beer
But it's all just a token
The spell will be broken
The second I'm spoken to, dear.

Original comic here.

This one's written very much in character - I love sport, dear. And I know loads about it, honey pie.

Comic 1100 - Vows

Without coming over as snooty,
How daft is American footy?
A quarterback will
Need a measure of skill
But the linemen just need a big booty.

Original comic here.

Nothing to do with the comic, dismissive of a much-loved sport, and the dreaded eye-rhyme as well. And two days late. Ugh!

Comic 1092 - Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps is a slippery phellow—
For all you might might gesture and bellow
He’ll zoom up and down
Any pool in your town
Till you go nuclear and use jello.

Comic 976 - Sail



There once was a man in a boat
When the wind made his sail start to bloat.
It blew off like a bubble
But he said “What's the trouble?
The main thing is, I am afloat.”

Comic 962 - The Corliss Resolution



Life forms never show much proclivity
To fly from their earthbound captivity.
Space race and survival
Lose pace to their rival:
Some risky, fun, frisky activity.

Comic 904 - Sports



There's a tendency when watching sport
To invest more than one strictly ought.
You might as well toss
Fifty coins, and get cross
If the tails take a loss, I'd have thought.
