Go Limericks
    Keywords: Problem

Go Limericks.

(These ones are pretty poor, but it might start off something.)

 There was a 3k player from Toulouse,
 Who had a bad tendency to fall into a snooze.
 So while he snored,
 his opponent won the board,
 upon waking he said "I didn't deserve to loose!"

(Not based on real a person, honestly)

 There was a dan player from Gent,
 Who saw the four in the corner were bent.
 So he smiled from ear to ear,
 As he pushed back his chair,
 saying "That, my dear friend, was excellent"

-- MortenPahle

(Sorry for the non-Dutch speakers)

 Er was eens een gobord en stenen
 Aan de bar een stel prachtige benen
 Een sente zet, snel !
 Toen waren zowel
 de vrouw als de aji verdwenen

B+R

 A tournament player from Bari
 had plans for a furikawari.
 Two moves down the line
 he had to resign:
 he'd missed a straightforward atari.

--Stefan

Shape

 A room full of clam shell and slate
 A painstaking game was my fate
 We opened debates
 Soon in dire straits
 The sense of good shape came too late

--Dieter

Divine intervention

 A japanese insei on the way to Korea,
 was playing on the boat crossing the sea.
 On the gently rolling Goban
 sliding stones helped his chuban,
 he said 'Neptune must really like me !'

--MortenPahle

BadHabits

 A brilliant nidan from Seattle
 Annoyingly stones liked to rattle
 Until a 1-kyu
 With lots of glue
 Brought tranquility back to the battle.

Rivals

 In the midst of a heated jubango,
 I made a hideous dango.
 My opponent cried, "Right!
 "I've got you tonight!"
 And danced a gleeful fandango.

Theory/Practice

 A book-learned high kyu from Kent
 In late chuban found cause to lament,
 "I opened on tengen,
 "Just like Go Seigen,
 "But don't know where my influence went!"
 An earnest young dan from Sri Lanka
 Was getting the hang of the haengma.
 Her stones flowed and surged,
 Groups linked up and merged.
 She said, "Soon my games'll all be in Ranka."
 A rude and hotheaded shodan
 At the club, had nary a fan.
 Complaining of damage
 Due to his rampage,
 Said they, "he ruined a goban."

--TakeNGive



Here's another one! I'm italian, so please forgive me if the metric is not correct... Ah! And, BTW, this is a little autobiographic... ;-)

  There was an old 3k of Roma
  Who always had a garlic aroma
  With his bodily smoke, his opponent would choke,
  That unfair 3k of Roma
