Young Stafford was on fire around the course

Tribute to The Legend
"There was a young man called Sean Lally,
When on his bike did not dally,
Always dressed in nice gear,
He got married last year,
But still gets it up for McNally!" ANON.

Club C/ship 2000
Hostilities started when Terry-Osterone,
Launched an attack in the Neutral Zone,
But this didn’t phase Peppard,
Who pounced like a leopard
With Simon to help him get home. ANON.

Club C/ship 2001
There was a young man called Simon
Who's a dab hand at sprintin' & climbin'
But after attack and attack
He launched from the pack
And gave a display of Time Trialin' ANON

If you THINK you are beaten, you are
If you THINK you dare not, you don!t
If you like to win, but you think you can!t
It is almost certain you won!t

If you think you!ll lose, your lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellows will
It!s all in the state of mind.

If you THINK you are outclassed, you are,
You!ve got to THINK high to rise,
You!ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life!s battles don!t always go,
To the strongestor fastest man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN.

Colm Stafford
38 riders went round Balheary
Some were feeling rather weary
Young Stafford was on fire around the course
(He’s riding much better since he gave up the horse)
Its hungry work being a winner
Sent Lou home to make his dinner
And off she went rather cross
But did it anyway coz she knows who’s boss!

ODE TO MATT KELLY
There was a young man who worked for Esso
While riding for swords went quiet expresso
Now with Craig and Co.he will be pullin
Them all around the hills of Stamullen.

ODE TO COMMANDO DEANS
There was a banker called Deans
His workmates on hearing his screams
Rushed into his office to find
Him rubbing his tattooed behind.

Deano
There was a young man called Deano
With club funds was decidedly meano
Now SPENDS his evenings in the gym
With the girlies he does spin
Hoping for that rare club win.

Anto McMahon
Still working on one about Anto McMahon
But the only thing that rhymes with McMahon is 'sat on'
Although someone did start one with.......
'There was a young man called Anto,
Whose antics should put him in panto'

'Slippers' Brogan
There was an young man called Pete,
Finding the Wicklow hard to complete,
In Manor Kilbride,
Was unable to hide,
The slippers upon his feet!!!!!

Some sensitive offerings from my clubmates when I needed 24 stiches a week after getting Laser Surgery!!!!!
From the Bard.......... There once was a man called Hugh With eircom shares didn't know what to do Lazer op's sounded smashing To make him look dashing If not we could call him Magoo		and.... A poetic offering from Ron............... There was a old fellow called Hugh, Who put his hand down to his shoe, It went into his wheel, he said ''its no big deal'' I could do with some chin implants too....

ODE TO THE FALLEN
Three times round the great Nag's Head
Went the trim and sprightly Fred
Crashing head and crushing stone
There goes another collar bone
Yet another fall in Ballybough
This time from the young Sean Rock
His dad then shouting like a Kaiser
"Where's your f 'en stabalizers?"
More sensitivity when Fred broke a collor bone, 4 ribs & punctured a lung!!!!!!!

ODE TO THE IDLE
There was a young man called Hugh
Having nothing whatever to do.
He pulled out his carrot,
And buggered the parrot
Then sent the result to the zoo.
Composed this over a long cup of tea during a 25 mile TT by a barber
(who shall remain nameless!!!!)

Bouncers have feeling too......
While surfing channels the other night
I came across an amazing sight
There smiling from the telly
Was our friend big Mat Kelly
In shirt and tie he did boast
Were not bouncers pal .....just call us hosts.!!!
(Now there's 'someone' who's def not getting in!!!!)

ODE TO A RECORD RIM CHANGER!!
Permanent grin on his mugsie,
Til his tyre went a pop,
When SuperPro Lugsie,
Brought the group to a stop.
Puncture or Rim Change?
(Not that it mattered)
Coz both Wardies 'long standing' records,
Were substatially shattered!!!!
(Jason has held this record for nearly a year now!!)

McIvor Maguire
Sunday the 26th of September
Was indeed a day to remember,
New boy Frank tried in vain,
To fix his little broken chain,
It looked as if our spin would stop,
Until the wonder from Kilcock,
Got two little stones and a 20 cent
And fixed that chain in a moment,
From this day fourth I will remember,
McIvor Maguire our trusty member

THE REBEL OF CARLINGFORD
Let me tell you a story of a man named Cole.,
Drunk and disorderly started digging a hole,
Digging and digging he had a good sup,
Cycle home in the morning? .....sure he'll never get up!!!!,
A few more pints and off to a dance,
Well that was the plan, but not for our Lance,
The lads headed off but he wouldn't go
Who needs woman .......When you can Dance with a Crow!!!!
(The only fella who picked up a bird on the weekend.....Ok it was stuffed crow from a Halloween display!!!)

Three new offerings below from a new Poet on the block................................

(New Nov 04)
Wardie
A veteran cyclist called Ward
To a spin on a Thursday looked forward
But when during the ride
On some mud he did slide
The ominous signs were ignored.

(New Nov 04)
Kev
A cyclist from Swords called McFeely
Was passing one day through Kinsealy
Where an old man in rags
Clutching brown paper bags
Claimed they were all empty, really.

(New Nov 04)
Anto
A cyclist from Swords, whose name is McMahon
Enters his races, devoid of a plan
Asked how does he win
He replies with a grin
I go from the line, as fast as I can.

Most offerings are from the Bard, some are slight collaberations.
If anyone takes offence.......that bit was by the Bard !!!!!!!
