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<\/a>. I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and the Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n

Congratulations to IRA BLOOM who wins Limerick of the Week for this clever verse:<\/p>\n

A fellow whose last dime was spent
\nOn toner, proceeded to vent:
\n“That HP ink-jet
\nWe were eager to get
\nNow’s the printer of our discontent.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Edmund Conti, Robert Schechter, Veralynne Bosko Pepper, Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>, Jane Shelton Hoffman, and Arthur Goikhman a\/k\/a SurrealGames<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Edmund Conti:<\/p>\n

A fellow whose last dime was spent
\nDecided to sell his one stent.
\nHis search was in vain.
\nDo I need to explain
\nThat pun which you’ll come to resent?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Schechter:<\/p>\n

A woman whose last dime was spent
\nEntertaining an indigent gent,
\nSaid, \u201cI\u2019m such a dumb bunny.
\nI thought he had money!
\nBut that\u2019s not what \u2018indigent\u2019 meant.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Veralynne Bosko Pepper:<\/p>\n

A woman whose last dime was spent
\nFound the key to her lock box was bent.
\nOh, what could she do?
\nSolicit a screw?
\nIn a blur, to the bar off she went.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith:<\/p>\n

A fellow whose last dime was spent,
\nNot despairing, went on to invent
\nA money machine
\nLike none before seen.
\nCan you guess to which prison he went?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

A fellow whose last dime was spent
\nHad no money for food or for rent.
\nHe committed a crime
\nSo he could do time
\nAnd live on the taxpayers’ cent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Arthur Goikhman a\/k\/a SurrealGames:<\/p>\n

A fellow whose last dime was spent
\nOn proving he had no intent
\nWas guilty as sin
\nBut savored his win,
\nSince no one dug up the cement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations again to all the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions.<\/p>\n

In the next couple of minutes I\u2019ll be posting a new Limerick-Off<\/a>, which gives you yet another opportunity to win Limerick Of The Week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
