Friday Fun - Boxing Limericks

First topic message reminder :

Saw this idea on another board, thought it was a good idea.

How it hopefully works, I will give the first line of a limerick, and then all you need to do is copy that first line and add the second, then someone else can copy the first two and add the third etc etc

Even with the helpful “somebody has posted in the meantime” feature we should still get too much confusion and duplication.

That has got to be one of the worst explanations of an idea that I’ve ever done, but hopefully you get the gist of it.

That line, Sir, is some kind of riddle ?

A light-heavy, Dynamite Sprouts
Had a number of interesting bouts
Or was it just one?
Yes just one, Dantley won
And a mean fist he did throw and clench

Alas ! The wrong limerick appended
The order of things is upended
Nonetheless, all good fun
And I feel like I've won
Because Shantel's account is suspended!

Sorry Windy, had to get that one in. Over to you for the 'proper' last line!
