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 ROBERT SCHECHTER who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A man who was frequently prone
\nTo sitting all day on the throne,
\nSaid, \u201cIt\u2019s great to be king,
\nBut there\u2019s only one thing:
\nIt\u2019s a toilet, and I\u2019m in Bayonne.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Johanna Richmond, Kathy El-Assal, Edmund Conti, Elaine Spall<\/a>,
\nDavid Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, Drew Nicholson<\/a>, and John Peter Larkin. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

A gal who was frequently prone
\nTo engaging in sex on the phone
\nFound repeat business hard
\nSince her number was barred
\nBy the women whose husbands she\u2019d blown.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kathryn El-Assal:<\/p>\n

A gal who was frequently prone
\nTo a French existentialist tone
\nHung out with Camus
\nAnd Jean-Paul Sartre, too.
\nTo her friends, she was known as Simone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Edmund Conti:<\/p>\n

A guy who was frequently prone
\nTo lying face down when alone
\nSaid, \u201cIt may not show class
\nWhen exposing my ass,
\nBut it beats out what else could be shown.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elaine Spall: <\/p>\n

A fellow was frequently prone
\nTo be licking and chewing a bone.
\nWhen he started to nibble
\nSome leftover kibble
\nThe doghouse was where he was thrown.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose:<\/p>\n

A gal who was frequently prone
\nFrom indulging in much C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne
\nRaised a glass (in a dream)
\nAt a bistro in N\u00eemes,
\nWhile asleep on the floor in Bayonne.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Drew Nicholson: <\/p>\n

A guy who was frequently prone
\nTo refusing to spend time alone
\nSaid “My name’s Herman Cain.
\nI suspend my campaign,
\nBut I’ll take VP offers by phone.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Peter Larkin:<\/p>\n

A guy who was frequently prone
\nWas happy his seed had been sown.
\nHis girl had said no
\nBut she gave him the go
\nWhen he found her erogenous zone.<\/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":"
