Limerick of the Week (29)
It’s time to announce the latest Limerick of the Week based on submissions (on this blog and on Facebook) in last week’s Limerick-Off. I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and the Honorable Mentions:
Congratulations to PHYLLIS STERLING SMITH a/k/a Granny Smith, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:
A fellow was going to bat
For a law client monstrously fat.
When she lay down on hubby,
A man merely tubby,
She mashed him as flat as a slat.
And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Jesse Levy, Pari Cooper, David McCormick a/k/a AdamantYves, Steph Holdridge, Linda Moss, and Johanna Richmond. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:
Jesse Levy:
A woman was going to bat
For a local disgraced Democrat.
He tweeted his junk!
He’s a punk not a hunk.
His career? Well now, that ended that.
Pari Cooper:
A fellow was going to bat,
Had a dick that was long as “all that”.
He rounded each base,
In a three legged race,
Then tripped on his balls and fell flat.
David McCormick:
A fellow was going to bat
So he donned, for protection, a hat;
Gloves and shirt, lightly padded;
Then furtively added
A cup for his this and his that.
Steph Holdridge:
A fella was going to bat
For a gal who was losing her flat.
He stopped the eviction
With a tale that was fiction,
And moved in with his dog and his cat.
Linda Moss:
A fellow was going to bat.
From nowhere appeared a black cat.
He threw up his hand,
Tossed the bat in the sand.
Superstition will trick you like that!
Johanna Richmond:
A fellow was going to bat
For a perky, pump-lovin’ pack rat;
Her footwear collection
(A shoo-in erection)
Could heal him in five minutes flat.
Congratulations again to all the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions.
In the next couple of minutes I’ll be posting a new Limerick-Off, which gives you yet another opportunity to win Limerick Of The Week.

Congrats to all the winners. Once again they are all excellent.
WTG Phyllis! Another great round of rhymes!
Congrats to one and all!- Mad Kane’s ‘Limerick Off’ is always a bright spot for reading posts from all the participants who demonstrate great humor and wit!
Thank you for the honorable mention. It is my honor to know MadKane.
Your fun contests have added a “little fancy” to my life.
I just got home from the wild event called a kinetic race, and found that I had the place of honor this time. Thank you Mad for placing me there, but also for being the person who allows us the fun of the weekly contest. I must say that Pari Cooper’s limerick had me rolling in the aisles, figuratively speaking. All the honorable mentions were really funny.
Thanx so much for the honors! This was one of my first few submissions, and the only one by deadline! So I was thrilled to be a part of such a talented group.
Best regards, Madeleine
Pari,
Thanks so much everyone for your enthusiasm, kind words, and fun limericks. And congratulations once again to the winners!
